Frazzled and coming unraveled

(Joh 20:30) And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples,

Frazzled and coming

unraveled

(Joh 2:1-11) And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have

no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the

servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants

which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the

beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples

believed on him.

of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he

received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my

beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure

hearts:
