THE BIBLE


THE WEDDING AT CANA
JOHN 2:1-12





John
Chapter 2

1
1 On the third day there was a wedding 2 in Cana 3 in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2
Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.
3
When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
4
4 (And) Jesus said to her, "Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come."
5
His mother said to the servers, "Do whatever he tells you."
6
5 Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons.
7
Jesus told them, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim.
8
Then he told them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." 6 So they took it.
9
And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom
10
and said to him, "Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now."
11
Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs 7 in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.
12
8 9 After this, he and his mother, (his) brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum and stayed there only a few days.




MULTIPLICATION OF THE LOAVES
JOHN 6:1-14



John
Chapter 6

1
1 2 After this, Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias).
2
A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick.
3
Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.
4
The Jewish feast of Passover was near.
5
3 When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?"
6
4 He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.
7
Philip answered him, "Two hundred days' wages 5 worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little (bit)."
8
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,
9
"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves 6 and two fish; but what good are these for so many?"
10
Jesus said, "Have the people recline." Now there was a great deal of grass 7 in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.
11
Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted.
12
When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted."
13
So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets 8 with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat.
14
When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, 9 the one who is to come into the world."

The Wedding In Cana – Jesus’ First Miracle

The Wedding In Cana – Jesus’ First Miracle

 

John 2:1-11
Jesus calls the servants and tells them to fill the water-pots with water.



IN CANA, A little town of Galilee, lived some friends of Jesus and his mother. One day these friends invited Jesus, his mother, and his followers to attend a wedding in their home. They invited many other people also, and prepared a feast for them.

Perhaps these people were poor; for they had not prepared enough wine for all the people who came to the wedding. And before the close of the feast the wine was all gone.


Mary, the mother of Jesus, saw that the wine had all been used, and she called Jesus aside to tell him about it. She knew of his wonderful power, and she believed he could surely help in a time like this. Then she told the servants who waited at the tables to do whatever Jesus might command them; for she expected him to supply the need in some wonderful manner.

In every Jewish home there were large vessels, called water-pots, which the people kept filled with water to use in washing their hands and their feet. 



The Jews were very careful to keep themselves clean from dust and dirt, and because they walked about everywhere with only sandals on their feet they needed often to wash. In this home where the wedding-feast was being held, six large water-pots of stone were kept for this purpose.

Jesus called the servants and told them to fill the water-pots with water. And remembering his mother’s instructions to them, the servants drew water and filled the vessels to the brim. Then Jesus told them to draw out from the vessels and fill their wine-pitchers again. When they obeyed they saw that wine flowed from the vessels they had just filled with water.

At these Jewish feasts one man was chosen to be the governor, or ruler of the feast. He tasted the food and the wine before it was placed on the tables to serve the people. Jesus told the servants to take this wine to the governor and have him taste it, just as he had tasted the first wine that had been served to the guests.

Now the governor did not know what Jesus had done. He did not know that the other wine had all been used and there was no more to be had. When he tasted the wine which Jesus had made from water he was surprised because it was so much better than the first wine which had been served. Calling the young man who had just been married, the governor said, “At other wedding-feasts the best wine is served first, but you have kept the best until the last of the feast.”

This was the first miracle Jesus performed, and it showed his willingness to help people who are in need. When the men who followed him saw what he had done they believed on him, for they knew that no man could change water into wine as he did.

The Bible


ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS
LUKE 1:26-38






Luke
Chapter 1




26
10 In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
27
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
28
And coming to her, he said, "Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you."
29
But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
30
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
32
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, 11 and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
33
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
34
But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?" 12
35
And the angel said to her in reply, "The holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
36
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived 13 a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
37
for nothing will be impossible for God."
38
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.



Saying of the Faith
Luke 17:5-6




Luke
Chapter 17



5
And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
6
The Lord replied, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to (this) mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.


The Would - Be Followers of Jesus
Luke 9:57-62


Luke
Chapter 9





57
27 As they were proceeding on their journey someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58
Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."
59
And to another he said, "Follow me." But he replied, "(Lord,) let me go first and bury my father."
60
But he answered him, "Let the dead bury their dead. 28 But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61
And another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home."
62
(To him) Jesus said, "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God."

The Miracle of Jesus' Birth

The Miracle of Jesus' Birth

"Can you read that?" The tourist asked me, pointing to a large silver star bearing a Latin inscription: "Hic de virgine Maria Jesus Christus natus est."
"I’ll try," I answered, and bringing to bear the full force of my meager Latin, attempted a translation: "Here Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary."
"Well, what do you think?" the man then asked. "Do you believe it?"
It was my first visit to the Holy Land, and I was standing in the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The fortresslike Church of the Nativity is built over this grotto or cave where, according to tradition, Jesus Christ was born. A silver star inlaid in the marble floor is said to mark the exact spot where the divine birth took place. I responded that, yes, I believe that Jesus Christ was miraculously conceived, but I doubted whether the silver star marked the spot of the birth.

THE BIBLE


THE ASCENSION OF JESUS
ACTS OF APOSTLES 1:6-11


Acts
Chapter 1


6
When they had gathered together they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going 4 to restore the kingdom to Israel?"
7
5 He answered them, "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority.
8
6 But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
9
When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
10
While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them.
11
They said, "Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven."



THE FATHER'S PLAN OF SALVATIONEPHESIANS 1:1-14


Ephesians
Chapter 1

1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the holy ones who are (in Ephesus) 2 faithful in Christ Jesus:
2
grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, 4
4
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love
5
he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will,
6
for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.
7
In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace
8
that he lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight,
9
he has made known to us the mystery 5 of his will in accord with his favor that he set forth in him
10
as a plan for the fullness of times, to sum up all things in Christ, in heaven and on earth.
11
In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the one who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
12
so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped 6 in Christ.
13
In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed 7 with the promised holy Spirit,
14
which is the first installment 8 of our inheritance toward redemption as God's possession, to the praise of his glory.

LUKE 21:25-28




Luke
Chapter 21


25
"There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves.
26
People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens 8 will be shaken.
27
And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28
But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand."

Resurrection of Jesus Christ - MIRACLE OF GOD

Posted by Herbert Curia - Promoter at Friday, April 06, 2012 0 comments





MIRACLE OF GOD


Resurrection of Jesus Christ

The Resurrection of Jesus is the Christian religious belief that Jesus Christ returned to bodily life on the Sunday following the Friday on which he was executed by crucifixion or on Saturday following the Wednesday on which he was crucified. It is a central tenet of Christian faith and theology and part of the Nicene Creed: "On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures". [1][2]
 
In the New Testament, after the Romans crucified Jesus, he was buried in a new tomb, but God raised him from the dead[3] and he appeared to many people over a span of forty days before his ascension to Heaven, to sit at the Right Hand of God. Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, the third day after Good Friday, the day of his crucifixion. Easter's date corresponds roughly with Passover, the Jewish observance associated with the Exodus, that is fixed for the night of the Full moon near the time of the equinox. [4]

The resurrection story appears in more than five locations in the Bible. In several episodes in the Canonical Gospels Jesus foretells his coming death and resurrection, which he states is the plan of God the Father.[5] Christians view the resurrection of Jesus as part of the plan of salvation and redemption.[6] There are other accounts of the death of Jesus, notably in the Jewish and Islamic traditions. Not all of these accounts include the resurrection.

Early Christian sects during the first three centuries (that later became heresies) rejected a physical resurrection, believing that Jesus Christ could not have been crucified because he had no physical substance. Basilides promoted the doctrine that Simon of Cyrene substituted for Jesus at the crucifixion, and that Jesus himself took the form of Simon, and stood by and laughed at them. [7]

Skeptical scholars have questioned the historicity of the resurrection story for centuries; for example, "nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century biblical scholarship dismissed resurrection narratives as late, legendary accounts."[8] A number of contemporary scholars express doubts about the historicity of the resurrection accounts and have debated their origin,[9] and some other scholars consider the biblical accounts of Jesus' resurrection as derived from the experiences of Jesus' followers and of Apostle Paul.[10][11]
