Cadboro Bay United Church Weekly Message

This is the last Sunday of January and the last Sunday with our story about Cana Wine.  Last Sunday, Margaret reminded us of weddings and the context of community and the places that Jesus and the disciples are left to work things out.  This week, I’m gonna focus on Jesus and his discernment about himself through the lens of this story.  John’s gospel is quite different in the way he deals with Jesus coming to terms with his call and identity and this story our introduction to that .  It fall right on the heals of the story of his baptism by John but in this Gospel,  there is no dessert scene.   Instead it’s a wedding!   Now that’s a contrast for sure and not an accidental one.  Together we will push at what it means to separate the message from the messenger and how the church has often messed that up.  Scripture: John 2: 1-12 Donate Now Visit Us
