Special Delivery

In verses 1-4, we are reminded that the gospel message has been delivered by angels, by miracles, and by the Spirit.

Surrounded by Miracles

In 1 Kings 17, Elijah predicts a drought, relies upon ravens and a widow for sustenance, and raises a boy from the dead.

Old and New

The miracle of Acts 3 is a reminder that God works all things out for good, no matter how bleak the circumstances.



Sign and Wonder

Peter uses this opportunity, in verses 11-16, to explain to the crowd the source of the beggar’s healing.

This awesome miracle is a sign of Jesus’ power, and Peter explicitly draws attention to this fact.

Parental Pressure

I find it fascinating that, as John reports Jesus‘ first sign and miracle, the Messiah was pressured into it by his mother.

It’s so mysterious. Why would Jesus allow himself to be influenced in this way?

One thing’s for sure, Jesus is fully human.

And when the master of the wedding feast tastes the wine, he’s shocked. Usually hosts would save the cheap wine for after the guests were wasted.

Jesus was fully God, able to turn water into the finest wine available.

I suppose the creator of the universe, the creator of humanity and grapes and fermentation, would be able to produce the best wine. I wonder if it was a red or a white?
