Water, Stone, Wine, and Bread
Why would Jesus turn water into wine and made it as the first miraculous sign while he refuse to turn stone into bread to satisfy his basic needs?
"Man does not live on bread alone".
Does man live on wine alone?
Jesus sets an example not to turn stone into bread because it would be using his power (authority) to satisfy his own need.
Jesus sets another example to turn water into wine to shows how much grace and joy he wants to give to people.
I had a deep reflection this Sunday, sit and listen to the sermon and keep on thinking what God has done for me. It's too difficult to understand why he would perform miracles on us to make us happy while he would not use this power to produce food for his basic need and desire.
Tonight is a really really dazing evening. I have made a big decision in a very short time. I bought a flat. After I wrote a cheque for deposit then I just thought - ah, I'm going to be in a huge debt!~
I should be thankful. I really wanted to have my own home, since about 2 years ago when I was in Cambridge. The house price in the UK have been blooming and I have been paying so much rent! However the P/E ratio of buying a house is too high in the UK.... also I cannot afford one at all.
Thank God.... My mum has sold an old flat and now she has extra cash to make up a deposit for my first property. I really don't know what lies ahead, I'm excited to see how things unfold. Thank God.
