Defeating the Power of Death

Morning: Psalm 41, 52; Deuteronomy 8:11-20; Hebrews 2:11-18
Evening: Psalm 44; John 2:1-12
Have you heard of entrepreneurs who patent plants as if they themselves had created them? We want so much to survive our own deaths, we even take credit for what is God’s! Perhaps we think renown will immortalize us. But Jesus brings God into closer relationship with us. And death, set alongside the power of the Cosmos, is shown to be powerless. When Jesus changes water into wine, and they tell him, ‘you saved the best for last,’ you can’t help feeling the miracle is about a much bigger party than a wedding in a little village called Cana!

    Driving the ripples on forever
    Redemption rips through the surface of time
    In the cry of a tiny babe"

    Mystery beyond comprehension!
