He Knew…

He Knew This message and teaching centers on this truth: Jesus knows exactly what He is doing. John introduces us to the Christ, who is eternal God, the source of life, the giver of eternal life, the Light that darkness cannot overcome, and the Lamb who perfectly accomplished the Father's purpose. Because He is sovereign, sufficient, and faithful, we can trust Him even with the parts of life that seem unpleasant, thorny, confusing, or "undrinkable." The water turned to wine in John 2 becomes a beautiful picture of Christ's transforming power. Jesus took ordinary water from purification vessels and produced something unexpectedly excellent. In the same way, He can take the hard-to-swallow experiences of our lives—trouble, disappointment, weakness, failure, loss, and pain—and redeem them for His purposes. We may never call the painful circumstance itself good, but we can eventually testify, "God was good to me in it." He can turn trouble into testimony, scars into compassion, messes into messages, and weaknesses into platforms for His strength. Three questions help us recognize God's work in every season: Is He glorifying Himself through this? Is He conforming me to Jesus through this? Is He preparing what He is doing in me to benefit someone else? Romans 8 reminds us that the ultimate "good" God is working toward is conformity to the image of His Son. What He teaches us through suffering often becomes grace we can later share with another person walking through seasons of troubles and trials. John 1 then establishes who this Jesus really is. "In the beginning was the Word." Jesus did not begin at Bethlehem. He is the eternal Word, God's perfect self-revelation, Creator
