Discuss John 2 Page 33

This is a lesson on what this world is like, and how darkness is over us that we don't understand we are slaves, the living dead in need of light. He had power simply because he understood what was going on and doing these manifestations helped them cross over. You know what it's like when you don't get something and can't seem to make out what a person is saying and then the lights go and and it was in front of you all the time, this is what the world is like, being held in a dream like state and when you look at tv and see the players imagine them all in the dark, doing what we always do and then imagine Christ waking them up and they see themselves for the first time... at that moment, never be ashamed for beauty is in the eye of the beholder and he be holdeth you in beauty.

T Bennett,
It is by no means disrespectful. In fact the opposite is true. First, “What have I to do with thee?” Is like saying what do you want me to do? Second, when Jesus refers to Mary as “Woman” the Greek translation does not denote any disrespect. In John 19:26 while Jesus was on the cross he was deeply concerned about her sadness and grief, yet again he refers to Mary as “Woman”. He loves her as he does all of us. There was certainly no disrespect.

What does Jesus mean when he says "woman what have I to do with thee?" Sorry but it sounds kinda rude to call your mother woman more or less 'what have i to do with you'. Can someone explain the context?

Jesus had the power of the most high-as he is the most high,his mother(mary) knows what he was capable of and that was y she sought him

Now when you walk with people that have made it ...you will come to lime light.
Joshua walked with moses and was known.
The disciples walked With Jesus and was known...
Come to Jesus

After the first day of choosing his disciples..
He was invited.
It shows that when people see men around you ...they want to call for your attention here..
It means Jesus had somethn that made the old men stick to him...

When you are speaker of the truth,though you will build enemies but People will want to know more

the person who thinks his future sins are forgiven in advance, needs to read I john 2:1...IF we sin,,,we must confess and ask forgivness thru Jesus,,,He is our advocate with the Father.,,don't be deceived into thinking you can continue to sin and that a past repentance covers it,,,,read Hebrews,,,read Romans...if you truely repent because you see where you have sinned against God, and if you fall in love with Jesus,,,you won't have a sinning problem. But then IF you err, you can go to Jesus with a repentant heart and He will forgive each and every sin. It is His will to present you faultless to the Father.

YESHUA OR JESUS UNDERSTOOD THE NATURE OF MEN ; EVIL , BETRAYERS , FULL OF DECEIT . MOVED BY SENSES , MASSES , INSTEAD BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD .

Jesus was not being rude. He knew that his mother recognized the authority and power he had as the son of God. That was why he concluded that his time had not come.The next verse confirms this by the statement his mother made. "Whatever he saith unto you do it. She knew who her son was. In response to another comment or question. The bible is not a story book. It is the living word of God.Ask God for insight and revelation into his word and it will come alive for you.

Who is this Jesus you ask? Is this Bible a storybook? Answer: First the Bible is not a storybook but rather a living breathing book that once you have accepted Christ as your Savior the Holy Spirit resides within you (the Comforter Jesus promised to send after His resurrection and acension to heaven)and guides you and reveals the scriptures to you. It is the only book that the author is present each time you read it and reveals more and more to you as you grow in your daily life with Jesus who is the Christ. Second: Jesus is the only begotten Son of God full of grace and truth ( John 3:16-17) who came to die for us and pay the sin debt He did not owe for us who could not pay the debt of sin we owed. How marvelous to know and understand that the Holy God of heaven and earth and all there is was willing to do such a thing! Romans 3:23 gives us the state we are born into but John 3:16 and 1 John 1:9 are two of many verses that tells us how to come to Jesus to accept the free gift of salvation. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through Him. Keep searching the scriptures and pray God to reveal the truth to you and you will see who this Jesus is and how wonderful it is to have Him in your heart and part of your life.

Verse 4; Jesus loved His mother and what is rude to us is different as how things were done in those days and the customs. He made sure on the cross that she was cared for by speaking to John and to Mary that he was her son and she his mother. In that day and age women had no status and had to have a man to do things and be accepted. He was "special"? No, He was and is God, the Son of God, which makes Him higher than man and our Creator. John 1 states in the beginning was the Word and also all things were made by Him and for Him. A holy and just God comes down to us to give us salvation would He really be rude to His own earthly Mother of whom He said was blessed above all women? I don't think so. I believe it was a term of enddearment and as another stated affirming who she was. Notice He did obey her.

As Jesus asked the disciples who do men say that I am? Only Peter gave the right answer saying thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus is the Logos, the living Word of God, and the book he has given to us, the bible is full of stories all about Him. When you place you faith in the Lord Jesus Christ you are born again into the body of Christ, and baptized by the Spirit of God by fire. The Spirit of God takes the Word of God, and makes it real in your life. No prophecy is of any private interpretation, but holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit to write the Word of God for our edification. Pray to Jesus to open your eyes, and ears so that you can hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. May the Lord bless you, and keep you. For faith is our victory over this world.

john 2:2 says they invited Jesus and his disciples to the wedding.
Let us involve Jesus in each, and every thing we do (in our lives) and miraculous things will happen in our lives.What will happen if Jesus didn't go to the wedding think about it.........

who is this jesus that you people are talking about? is this bible just a story book?

I love reading John It reminds me of how much Jesus love me

God bless you. If we love the Lord with all our heart and all our mind, then we will DO what He commands. Solomon said the most important thing we can do on this earth is to fear God and obey his commands. It is the whole duty of man. Ecc 12:13. So WHAT exactly ARE those commands?
According to the bible is is the 10 commandments. 1John 2:3-7 says we have come to know him if we obey his commands and if he does NOT DO what he commands then he is a liar. That we are to walk as Jesus did. So Jesus kept the Sabbath day as was his custom, he kept the Passover with his disciples. He kept all the appointed Feasts of God. John writes that this is not a new command but an old one that we have had since the beginning. The 10 commandments~! Now we don't keep the old covenant 10 commandments with all its regulations and sacrifices. Now we keep the new covenant 10 commandments that Jesus kept as well as the disciples who were taught by Jesus. Jesus is the final sacrifice for all the daily, weekly, yearly sacrifices. So we keep the new covenant as Jesus taught us . If you are not keeping Sabbath the 7th day and if your church does not keep the feasts of God ,then you are not in Zion, the Church of God. So that means then you are worshiping God in vain. The bible clearly tells us the salvation comes out of Zion and that God dwells in Zion. Zion is the place where God's holy and appointed Feasts are kept....Remember the Sabbath by keeping it holy.

John 2:4 Jesus never sinned. Had he been rude to his mother, that would have bee sin. Remember that words weren't used exactly the same back then as they are now. Woman was a term or respect. He wasn't being disrespectful. He was simply asking her what she wanted him to do, reminding her that it wasn't time for him to reveal himself yet.

By Jesus addressing His Blessed Mother as Woman was to confirm and reaffirm to the whole World the designation of Virgin Mary as the New Eve therefore the word "Woman". It is "The Woman" who will step-on and crush the head of the serpent (the devil).

Jesus is being unnecessarily rude to his mother. Being special gives you less, not more, excuse for behaving badly

this is my favorite book ever

I see it happening before me and will do what ever our Lord uses me for to save our brothers and sisters who are lost in this world of sin...

If jesus can turn water into wine, and wine into blood, I wonder what he can turn his blood into.....salvation.
Where was the center of worship in the old testament and at the time of Jesus....The Temple. Now what is the center of worship in the Catholic Church.. The Eucharist.. The body of Christ. In John 2 Jesus says he will Destroy the temple and raise it up in 3 days... and then John notes that the temple he was talking about was Jesus body. No go read all of John 6 and the last supper testimony. Turn to the Catholic Church..Amen.

Beloved, Let James chapter 4 Bless you, to remember, that God wants us to, daily resist our selevs; For our flesh wants what the devil has to offer us, which is: Pleasure, dominion, self-will, selfishness, self-pride, luxury, and self-fulfillment, for the Bible says in, 1 John 2:16; That, all that is in the world is; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

So the Bible shows us that our nature is with satan, and against God. So we must be attentive to that fact, and then keep our focus on denying ourselves, not even trusting in our own hearts, cause the Bible says, in Jeremiah 17:9, that the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. so we must read, study (meaning memorize),and meditiate on this chapter.

This verse states that it's good to be married. Today's emphasis on individual freedom is misguided. Strong individuals are important but strong marriages are too. God created marriage for our enjoyment, and he pronounced it good. So marriage is a good and enjoyable creation of Gods. Check out Gen. 2:21-25, Prov. 5:15-19 and John 2:1-11... so much more knowledge.

@Larry...read 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I believe this is telling us that Jesus is our intercessor. He bridges the gap between us and the Father!

I feel these scriptures should answer your question.

Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Matthew 24:7 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 17:26-30 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

I wonder why, at the end of this Chapter,Jesus did not commit Himself to them that they would testify about Him? To whom was He reluctant? Are the hearts of all men the same today as they were back then?

II Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourself, whether ye be in the faith, prove yourself:
- Do you enjoy spiritual fellowship with God, with Christ, and fellow believers ( 1 John 1:3, 4). Neglect not assembly.
- What is your attitude toward the world and its values (1 John 2:15). Love not the world.
- Are you obedient to the commandments of the scriptures (1 John 2:3-5).
- We know him because we keep his commandments.
- Do you have the ability to discern between spiritual truth and error ( 1 John 4:1-6).
- Do you live sinless now since you have professed faith in Christ ( 1 John 3:5, 6).
- Do you fall to temptation ( 1 John 1:5-10).
- Do you believe the basic doctrines of the faith ( 1 John 5:1). God so love the world. Have you experienced persecution for your Christian faith ( John 15:18-20). They hated Jesus.
- Do you love other believers ( 1 John 3:14). He that loves not knows not God.
- Do you have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit ( 1 John 4:13). Our spirit bears record with his spirit.
- Have you experienced answered prayers ( 1 John 3:22).
- Do you love Jesus and look forward to His coming ( 1 John 3:2, 3).

@André,
On verse 10 :
1. This verse gives some real insight on the plan of salvation that God has set up through his son Jesus Christ;
2. The wine is new wine which represents the blood of the New Testament from the law to grace (Mathew 26:28,29; Mark 14:24,25), the wine is grape juice ( Genesis 40:11) or non alcoholic new wine or you have to remove 1 Peter 5:8 from the scriptures;
3. At gatherings of importance the best wines are served first and as time goes on and people taste buds become less reliable, then the host breaks out the not as good wine;
4. God always serves the good stuff for last just like salvation, the salvation we have here on earth is good, but the when we get to heaven, it's the best for last;
5. The first shall be last and the last shall be first.
