THE RELATIONSHIP

THE RELATIONSHIP

The book of John chapter 2 gives an account of the first miracle JESUS did in HIS ministry. The bible says in verse 3-4”, and when they wanted wine the mother of JESUS saith unto HIM they have no wine. JESUS answered unto her, “woman” what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come. Note that HE did not call her” mother” but HE called her woman (womb man), that is for another day.

The answer JESUS gave was definitely not a yes answer. I was wondering why a son would say to the mother WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE? Knowing perfectly that it was her womb that kept you for the 9 months before birth.

 

From there she went straight to the servants and said do as HE says. The bible records that JESUS asked them to fill the pots and they filled them to the brim, and HE said draw out now and bear unto the governor of the feast, and that was it, HE had created wine. There are a lot we can pick from this story but let’s focus on HIS mother today.

Even though HIS time was not up but at the word of HIS mother HE built a wine factory. The relationship between Mary and JESUS was that of a son and HIS mother and Mary knew her son. She knew who HE was and what HE is made of.  She had a 100% faith in her son that, though HIS time might not be up but if she tells HIM , HE will surely do whatever she says and that her joy might be full.

It is as though she didn’t care the answer her son gave, because if she did she wouldn’t have gone to the servants to issue instructions. What she did by issuing the instruction “DO AS HE SAYS” was giving her son the platform to operate. She acted on her faith, which gave JESUS the platform to operate in the gathering.

  

Know your relationship with GOD. Is HE a friend, father or master?  Build one with HIM if you don’t have. Upon knowing your relationship with HIM issue out your instructions; that is act on your faith.

In so doing you fill out your pots with all your troubles and give JESUS the chance to create for you a wine factory which is your solution and joy in life.

Once again know your relationship with GOD, and build one if you don’t have, because trust me! You need it to survive and enjoy life.
