BOB PEDEN
Each moment of our lives is crowded with eternal significance, yet our eyes are often blind: we expect only what is predictable. We miss God's grace in the moment, the Father's gift in the simple, and Heaven's glory in the ordinary. We lose the Lord's presence in the sunrise, his joy in the smile of a child, his whisper in the wrinkles of the aged, and his glory hidden in a spider's web.
So, when John tells us his story of Jesus turning water into wine, he wants to do more than tell us history. Yes, what he writes is true, but even more he wants us to know it is truth -- authentic to real life. Each encounter with Jesus tells us, not just what he did, but also what he longs to do now… in us… among us… through us. The unpredictable Savior wants to show us how water can become wine.
This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church. My question for you this morning is: Where in your life is God waiting to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary?
