Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world and those who embrace Me will experience life-giving LIGHT” (John 8:12). He also said YOU are the “Light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).
We are believers who have embrace the light of the Truth, Jesus, and now we are in life-union with Him therefore we radiate with Light. We are transformed into His Holy dwelling place.
Our text is from John 2:1-10 for this session. Jesus changes the water at the wedding into wine. Some observations: There were six jars of water used for purification and those jars were empty. Six is the number that is related to humanity. These jars were there because of man’s decree, not God’s. They were empty because they were unable to purify themselves from the effects of sin.
Jesus said, “Fill them with water”. The water that truly purifies is the water of the Word of God (Ephesians 5:26). The Word made flesh was speaking. They listened. (Truth is a powerful purification of God.) The beginning of the transformation was obedience to the Word of God. The Word still has transformative power.
“Take a cup and give it to the Master” is our moment of hearing the Truth and believing and handing our belief to the Master, God of it All.
“What will you do with Jesus, who is called the Christ?” “I will believe.”
Transformation happened at the transfer just like when you were born-again into Christ. God filled you with His best. He filled you with Himself.
We were transformed from a clay jar that relied on our own personal purification. We were found empty. We are now a vessel filled with perfect purity-the blood of the Lamb. Holiness filled us-a holiness we were unable to produce.
“Our life-giver, the Lord Jesus Christ, transforms our humble bodies and transfigures us into the identical likeness of His body.” Philippians 3:21 TPT
This humble vessel becomes a holy place.
“Do you not know that you are now God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? For God’s temple is holy…and you are that temple.” 1 Corinthians 3:16
Christianity is unlike any other religion or belief system. We do not attach ourselves to a belief system and do everything in our power to keep our lives within the perimeters of that system…we believe Jesus, and a transformation takes place causing transfiguration. Our believing unlocks a miracle of something brand new and better. We were transformed into a temple!
I sold the real estate of my life to a perfect Purchaser. He took that real estate and built a temple where there was wild land. He called this holy place His own and then deposited His treasure, His inheritance, there. He loved it so much He took up residence!
Do you not know?
