Today I looked up all the words in my Strong’s Expanded Dictionary of Bible Words that mean “space.” There are many words that mean “space” in relation to time.
While I was studying, I kept thinking about Jesus being the Lord of time and space.
In John chapter 2, Jesus turns water into wine. Making wine is not an easy process. I don’t really know a lot about making wine, but logically speaking, it has many steps. You first have to grow grapes. Then you have to harvest grapes. Then you have to squeeze the juice out, bottle it, and wait for it to ferment.
Jesus bypasses all that.
In John chapter 2 we read:
“Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”
So they filled them to the brim.
“Now draw some out,” He said, “and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!”
Jesus performed this, the first of His signs, at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.”-John 2:6-11 (BSB)
He did in a space of moments what it takes winemakers years to accomplish. And the banquet master said it was the best!!
What does this say about the character of Jesus? How does the knowledge of this part of His character impact our lives?
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”-Hebrews 13:8 (BSB)
