Reflection on John 2

Reflection on John 2

Jesus is the BETTER wedding guest. 
He gives us the true wine of joy and satisfaction by always fulfilling his covenant to us. Jesus is the wedding guest who makes the feast, the celebration and the marriage worth it!

(John 2:1-12)

Jesus is the BETTER temple. Jesus can never be destroyed by invading armies or by fire.

19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
(John 2:19-22)

Only Jesus' body is the perfect, holy abode of God. We can only truly live by being united with Jesus.
The fullness of a joyful, sincere and whole life is found in being united with Jesus through his spirit.

May we always rest in Jesus as our final temple. May we always dwell in the presence of God through the Holy Spirit living in us and making us temples of God.

May we together practice grace, truth and love with each other to be Christ-like in all our relationships.

May we see that Jesus is the only true love who fulfills his covenant to us by wedding us to himself and granting us eternal joy and companionship.
