AT THE CHURCH

THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS LESSON TEXT John 2:1-16. MEMORY SELECTION Whatsoever he salth unto you. do it John 2:5. The witness" of John concerning Jesus as the Son of God had been attested by the divine knowledge of Jesus and his personal call to his disciples. Now the time had come for him to declare his authority God by an overt act which sill men could see and understand. It is interesting-to note that for this, . the first of his miracles, he chose a festive occasion in the home. He had been invited to be a guest at a wedding (v. 2). Those who ask him to be present at their marriage may confidently expect him to be present and to add greatly to the real joy of the occasion. The authority of our Lord show here in three different ways: L He Commands (w. 1-8). He was neither host nor was Be the one charged with responsibility for the serving, biit when the time came for him to do his mighty act the servants were ready to obey that admonition of his mother and do what he said. Mary may have had some responsibility for serving the guests. Why, then had she not looked to the supply of wine? Apparently she who knew of what had taken place at the baptism of Jesus and immedi-1 ately after, and having in her heart the memory of what occurred at his birth (Luke 2:14), thought it time for

him to do some great miracle. He was indeed ready to do so, but in his own way. "What is that to thee?" in verse 4 really carries the meaning: "This is a matter which I must care for in my own way," and he did. We do well to seek grace to be like the servants who did what

the Lord commanded, even though it did not seem to be a sensible solution to fill the jars with water. Obedience without hesitation and without question is the price of blessing! n. He Creates (w. 9-11). The act of creation was already done, but now the fact came to light. He had changed the water into wine, the juice of the grape. This was not a case of adding something or diluting the remaining wine: Here the water, as he decreed it even without the use of a spoken word,' was no longer there, but the best of wine. Jesus was and is the Creator. He was present at the beginning of all things (note the "let us" in Gen. 1:26), and it declared that "by him were all tfc'ngs created" (Col. 1:16, 17). In fact, "without him was not anything made" John 1:3). What he created was good, so good ia fact, that the one in charge r-cf tfie feast remarked about it The Lord never does anything by halves, nor in a careless or defective way. He made a great quantity of wine (probably more than 100 gallons) and it was of the greatest excellency. Some would read . verse 10 as

though our Lord were here helping

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Sacrament" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, January 12. The Golden Text is: "The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world" (John 6:33). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and h-saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou ? couldest not thou watch one hour? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak" (Mark 14:32, 37, 38). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Prayer, watching, and working, combined with self-immolation, are God's gracious means for accomplishing whatever has been successfully done for the Christianization and health of mankind" (p. 1). "The Master's injunction isr, that we pray in secret and let our lives attest our sincerity" (p. 15).
