By Water, AND By The Blood Of Jesus Christ

John 2:1-11

On The Third Day, There Was A Wedding, In Cana Of Galilee, And The Mother Of Jesus Was There. Now, Both Jesus And HIS Disciples Were Invited To The Wedding. And When They Ran Out Of Wine, The Mother Of Jesus, Said To HIM, “They Have NO Wine!” Jesus Said To Her, “Woman, What Does Your Concern Have To Do With ME? MY HOUR Has NOT Yet Come!” His Mother Said To The Servants, “Whatever HE (Jesus) Says To YOU, DO IT!”

Now, There Were Set There, Six Waterpots Of Stone, According To The Manner Of Purification Of The Jews, Containing Twenty OR Thirty Gallons Apiece. Jesus Said To Them, “Fill The Waterpots With Water.” And They Filled Them Up To The Brim. And HE (Jesus) Said To Them, “Draw SOME Out Now, And Take IT, To The Master Of The Feast!” And They Took IT! When The Master Of The Feast Had Tasted The Water, That Was Made WINE, And Did NOT Know Where IT Came From (BUT, The Servants, Who Had Drawn The Water, KNEW), The Master Of The Feast, Called The Bridegroom. And He Said To Him, “Every Man, At The Beginning, Sets Out The Good Wine, And When The GUESTS Have Well Drunk, THEN (He Sets Out) The Inferior (Wine). YOU Have Kept The Good Wine, Until Now!”

THIS Beginning Of Signs, Jesus Did, In Cana Of Galilee, And MANIFESTED HIS GLORY; And HIS Disciples BELIEVED In HIM!

Fellow Believers, What is The Significance Of Jesus Turning The Water, Into Wine? Well, Perhaps It Can Also Be Looked At As, “The Water” (The Natural Body) And “The Wine” (The Blood Of Jesus Christ).

John 3:5-8

Jesus Answered, “Most Assuredly, I (Jesus) SAY TO YOU (Fellow Believers), Unless One IS Born Of Water (The Natural Body) And THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), He Can NOT Enter THE KINGDOM Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!”

“THAT, Which IS Born Of The Flesh (The Natural Body), IS Flesh (The Natural Body), And THAT, Which IS Born Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), IS SPIRIT (The Spiritual Body)!”

“Do NOT Marvel, That I (Jesus) SAID TO YOU, ‘YOU (Fellow Believers) MUST BE BORN AGAIN (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!’”

“The Wind Blows Where IT Wishes, And YOU Hear The Sound Of IT, BUT, Can NOT Tell Where IT Comes From And Where IT Goes. SO, IS EVERYONE (Fellow Believers), WHO IS BORN Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Holy Spirit)!”

Fellow Believers, Jesus Declares To Us, That We MUST Be Born Of Water (The Natural Body) And We MUST Be BORN AGAIN, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; And Eventually, We Will Receive Our Spiritual Bodies, At The Being Caught Up Together.

Matthew 16:16-17

Simon Peter Answered, And Said, “YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON Of THE LIVING GOD (GOD Almighty)!” Jesus Answered, And Said To Him, “BLESSED ARE YOU, Simon Bar-Jonah, For Flesh And Blood (i.e. Mankind) Has NOT Revealed THIS, To YOU, BUT, MY FATHER (GOD Almighty), WHO IS IN HEAVEN!”

Folks, ONLY GOD Almighty, Himself, Can Put Upon Someone’s Heart, The Desire To Hear THE TRUTH, The Desire To Acknowledge THE TRUTH, The Desire To Understand THE TRUTH, And Most Importantly, The Desire To Accept THE TRUTH.

THE TRUTH – The Holy Bible (The Old Testament: 39 Books, The New Testament: 27 Books, For A Total Of 66 Books), AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

John 6:54, 56

THEN, Jesus Said To Them, “Whoever (Fellow Believers) Eats MY FLESH And Drinks MY BLOOD, Has ETERNAL LIFE, And I Will Raise Him Up, At THE LAST DAY! He (Fellow Believers), Who Eats MY FLESH And Drinks MY BLOOD, ABIDES IN ME (Jesus), AND I IN Him (Fellow Believers)!”

Matthew 26:26-28

And As They Were Eating, Jesus Took Bread, Blessed And Broke IT, And Gave IT To The Disciples, And Said, “Take, Eat; This Is MY BODY!” THEN, HE (Jesus) Took The Cup, And Gave Thanks, And Gave IT To Them, Saying, “Drink From IT, All Of YOU! For This Is MY BLOOD Of THE NEW COVENANT, Which Is Shed For Many, For The Remission (Cleansing) Of Sins!”

John 19:34

BUT, One Of The Soldiers Pierced HIS (Jesus’) Side, With A Spear, And Immediately, BLOOD And WATER Came Out!

1 John 5:6-7

THIS IS HE, WHO CAME, By Water And Blood — Jesus Christ; NOT ONLY, By Water, BUT, By Water AND Blood! And IT IS THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), WHO Bears Witness, Because THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit) IS TRUTH! For There Are THREE, That Bear Witness, In Heaven: THE FATHER (GOD Almighty), THE WORD (Jesus Christ), AND THE HOLY SPIRIT; AND THESE THREE, ARE ONE!

Fellow Believers, Once Again, We See The Significance Of The Water AND The Blood!

We Are Born, IN The Natural Body, BUT, When We Acknowledge GOD Almighty's Amazing Saving GRACE And Accept GOD Almighty's FREE GIFT Of SALVATION (Which COMES ONLY, THROUGH Jesus Christ), We Are BORN AGAIN, THROUGH The Holy Spirit! Now, Does IT Make Sense? We Are Born Of Water And Born Of THE SPIRIT (THROUGH The Blood Of Jesus Christ)!

1 John 5:8

And There Are THREE, That Bear Witness On Earth: THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit), The Water (Fellow Believers), And THE BLOOD (Jesus Christ); And These THREE Agree, As ONE!

A Quick Reminder Of Why We Believe, What We Believe – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ!

1 Corinthians 15:3-6a

For I Delivered To YOU (Fellow Believers), First Of All, That Which, I Also, RECEIVED (THROUGH The Holy Spirit): That Christ Died For Our Sins, According To THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And That, HE (Jesus) Was Buried, And That, HE (Jesus) Rose (ALIVE) Again, The Third Day, According To THE SCRIPTURES (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And That, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE), By Cephas (aka Peter), THEN, By The Twelve (Jesus’ Disciples). After That, HE (Jesus) Was SEEN (ALIVE), By Over Five Hundred Brethren (Fellow Believers) At Once (i.e. Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, AND Subsequent, Ascension – The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

Ephesians 2:8-10

FOR BY GRACE (GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE), YOU (Fellow Believers) Have Been SAVED (From The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), THROUGH FAITH (FAITH, IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), And That NOT Of Yourselves; IT IS THE GIFT Of GOD (GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT Of SALVATION), NOT Of (Mankind’s) Works, Lest Anyone Should Boast. For We (Fellow Believers) Are HIS (GOD Almighty's) WORKMANSHIP, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS, For Good Works (GOD Almighty’s Good Works, Performed THROUGH Us), Which GOD (GOD Almighty) PREPARED, BEFOREHAND, That We (Fellow Believers) Should Walk In Them!

1 John 5:9-11

IF We (Fellow Believers) Receive The Witness Of Men, THE WITNESS Of GOD (GOD Almighty) IS Greater; FOR THIS, IS THE WITNESS Of GOD, Which HE (GOD Almighty) Has TESTIFIED Of HIS SON (Jesus Christ)! He (Fellow Believers), Who BELIEVES, IN THE SON Of GOD (Jesus Christ), Has THE WITNESS (The Holy Spirit), IN Himself; He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), Who Does NOT Believe GOD, Has Made HIM (GOD Almighty) A Liar, Because He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Has NOT Believed THE TESTIMONY, That GOD (GOD Almighty) Has GIVEN Of HIS SON (Jesus Christ)!

AND THIS, IS THE TESTIMONY: That GOD (GOD Almighty) Has GIVEN Us (Fellow Believers), ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, With Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, And All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), AND THIS LIFE, IS IN HIS SON (Jesus Christ)!

THIS, Is What We Are Looking Forward To, At Any Moment:

1 Corinthians 15:49, 52-53

And As We (Fellow Believers) Have Borne The Image Of The MAN Of Dust (The Natural Body), We (Fellow Believers) Shall Also, BEAR THE IMAGE Of THE HEAVENLY MAN (Jesus Christ – The Spiritual Body, At The Being Caught Up Together)!

IN A Moment, IN The Twinkling Of An Eye (IN A Millisecond), At THE LAST (Blowing Of The) TRUMPET! FOR THE TRUMPET (Of GOD Almighty) WILL SOUND, And THE DEAD (Pre-Tribulation Dead Believers) Will Be RAISED (ALIVE), INCORRUPTIBLE (IN Their Spiritual Bodies), And We (Pre-Tribulation LIVING Believers) Shall Be CHANGED (An Instantaneous Supernatural CHANGE, Into Our Spiritual Bodies)! For THIS Corruptible (The Natural Body), MUST Put On INCORRUPTION (The Spiritual Body); And THIS Mortal (The Natural Body), MUST Put On IMMORTALITY (The Spiritual Body)!

Fellow Believers, Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES OVER Us, Always!

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together IS IMMINENT!

May OUR LORD, Jesus Christ, Find YOU Going About THE FATHER’S Business; Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ; As A Good And Faithful Servant! Amen.
