In the Time When Christ Becomes the Lord

John 2:1~11 / This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. (11)

Hymn #549 My Jesus, as Thou Wilt (Unified Hymn 431)

In the time of Jesus, Israel was on the verge of destruction. Ten Roman emperors would persecute the church for 250 years. The posterity of Israel collapsed. Even though Christ had come, disciples were called heretics. In the Gospel of John, Jesus' first ministry is detailed. It was the wedding feast in Cana where Jesus turned water into wine. When Jesus was a guest of the banquet, works didn't happen, but when He became the Master of that place, miracles arose. When the disciples saw Jesus' first sign and His glory that was revealed, they believed in him. (John 2:11) This was Jesus' goal. What kind of Lord is Christ to you?

1. He Is the Lord Who Defeated Darkness and Eliminated Disasters
The Israelites considered marriage important enough to compare it to the coming of Christ. That's why running out of wine at the wedding banquet was a great disaster. The meaning of this incident was that a great disaster befell the Jewish people who should've been joyful at the banquet. However, they weren't because they didn't know Christ well. When Christ becomes the Lord of you; your family line; and the nation, darkness will completely collapse.

2. He Is the Lord Who Revealed the Power of Creation
Mary knew who Jesus was, so she told the servants to do "whatever He tells you." (John 1:1-14) The moment the Lord of creation becomes the Master, He'll allow you to do what you cannot do and what you need to.

3. He Is the Lord of the Absolute Answer
You must believe in God's "absolute plan" because He gives answers to those who know "the absolute answer." But first, you must find “the absolute plan." By doing so, you'll see "the absolute covenant" and reach "the absolute goal" while going on "the absolute journey." Starting now, all you need to do is have "absolute obedience." (John 2:5)

By doing "24" and "25" in which Christ is your Master, you'll undoubtedly see the future and receive answers. From today, through prayer and the Word, make the "237·Healing·Summit" into a masterpiece. On the day when Christ becomes the Master of your business, all darkness will be broken and Satan will kneel.

Gospel Memory Verse [Mark 11:24]
Bible Reading [2 Thessalonians 2:13~17]

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today be a time of the covenant. Just as water was turned into wine at the wedding banquet in Cana, may the power of creation appear. May the work of holding onto the Word of Christ and making Him my Master take place. In doing so, may all my darkness; curses; and disasters crumble, and may Satan and the authority of curses be bound. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
