Those who turn the world upside down

Morning: Psalm 103; Isaiah 52:3-6; Revelation 2:1-7

Evening: Psalms 114, 115; John 2:1-11

Contrary Warriors are elders among the Cheyenne who teach cultural practices in a fashion contrary to traditional Cheyenne culture.  They say that followers of Jesus turn the world upside down. Jesus certainly does … he consistently behaves in contrary ways, challenging people to think.  This is vital if we want to live our lives consciously.  The miracle of the wine at the wedding in Cana is a case in point.  Jesus provides the best wine late in the feast, overturning the usual custom.  He uses his extraordinary power judiciously and so teaches us how to use our power.
