John 2:1-12 – Redemption. With exquisite detail, God’s plan of salvation was planned before the creation of the universe. This sermon dives into the marvelous details of God’s plan and looks intently at understanding the humanity of Jesus. With awe we discover that Jesus’ first miracle at a wedding in Cana has far greater doctrinal significance than one could ever imagine. This first, seemingly innocuous miracle of Jesus, reveals significant doctrinal truths that must be explored and understood. If you thought this story was only about Jesus turning water into wine, you have missed the forest through the trees. Pastor Dave’s sermon from John 2:1-12, Redemption, looks at the profound details of God’s plan of salvation that will strengthen your faith and fill your heart with even greater reverence for Jesus.

The beginning of SIGNS? WHY NOW?
Jesus had to achieve His role as our HUMAN KINSMAN before He could purchase our salvation (on the cross)
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.

1 For since the law has but a shadow of the good things to come, instead of the true form of these realities, it can never… make perfect those who draw near…
Hebrews 10:1 ESV https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/heb/10/1/s_1143001
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when He (Jesus) came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You have prepared for Me. 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come, in the volume of the book it is written of Me, to do Your will, O God.’”
Hebrews 10:4–7, NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/heb/10/4-7/s_1143004
ONLY JESUS BLOOD CAN CLEANSE OUR SIN – no amount of religious ceremony can do that
