Ok, here we go again. Lets try to find out what another bible verse really means, and therefore give us a more accurate picture of God, and therefore make us less afraid of him, and therefore causing us all to fall more in love with Him, each other, and the world around us.
John2:4. Jesus is at the wedding in Cana of Galilee, and they have just run out of wine. (Heavens! What's a wedding without wine?) Anyhow, Jesus' Mom comes to Him and alerts Him to this serious situation. Jesus then utters these cryptic words... "Woman, what do I have to do with You? My time has not yet come."
WHOA. That's heavy. What's He saying, like, "Who are you, I have no need to have any involvement with you. Stop trying to interrupt the divine timetable." That's the way I've always seen this. Till now. The more I learn about God, the more I think it really just went something like this.
"Mother Mother, Mother... What am I gonna do with you? Always asking me to do miracles before the time for my ministry has started. " With a big smile on His face.
And then he goes ahead and does it anyway.
THIS IS MORE LIKE THE CHARACTER OF THE GOD WHO WE ARE GETTING TO KNOW.HE'S NOT CRYPTIC AND HE'S NOT WEIRD. IT'S ONLY OUR RELIGIOUS MINDSETS THAT MAKE HIM APPEAR SO.
We need to fall in love with a cool guy who loves us instead of living out our religion. It sounds a lot more fun.
