Miracles Follow Obedience
When do we need a miracle the most? How do miracles come about? Do we play a role in God’s provision and plan to be implemented in our lives?
A need fulfilled begins with the need. Miracles follow problems.
If we are going to experience the miracles God wants for us, we must listen to Jesus and obey him.
The gospel of John tells us that Mary, the mother of Jesus, told the servants to listen to Jesus and to do whatever he told them to do when they had run out of wine in Cana of Galilee. John tells us, “His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’” (John 2:5, ESV).
When the servants obeyed Jesus and filled the ceremonial water jars with water, Jesus turned that water into wine, his first miracle.
If we are desiring a miracle in our lives, it begins with listening to Jesus and “Doing whatever he tells us to do.”
May we listen to Jesus and experience his miracles in our lives.
A Collect for the Second Sunday of Epiphany: “Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
