John 2:33 “This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana, in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.” I want to tell you what happened: I put water into a glass this morning. I then said to the water–become wine. Nothing happened. Thinking maybe I had the wrong type of glass I chose another bigger glass, much fancier and filled it with cold water with ice. I then said—become wine. Still nothing. Can anyone explain Why? It worked for Jesus–why not me?

John 1:34 “‘I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.”‘ John the Baptist is a very reliable witness. His testimony is therefore factual and accurate. He recognized Jesus, knew who He was, couldn’t do anything but tell others about Him. He knew what his purpose in life was. God created John for this purpose. The same is true for each of us—you and me. Each of us, no matter our age has a purpose. Important question: For what purpose has God created you?

John 1:29 “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'” How could John say these words without Jesus being God? He knew the innocent man standing before him had the power to carry the weight of the world’s sins. No mere human could do what our Savior did and John knew that truth. The supreme love our Godhas for each of is comprehendible. Innocence, to live and die and rise for you and me—there is no greater love.

We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” Jesus, the Word, our Savior, the Creator, the One and Only, the reason for Christmas, the One who is our Advocate, the One who is Love and gives us assurance and confidence–therefore, our Hope, the One who bought us with His blood—He is the One we honor for He has made each of us His child. Yes, each of us both humbly and proudly believe—I am a child of God.
