00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.980
Now,<00:15:08.759><c> not</c><00:15:08.980><c> that</c><00:15:09.120><c> it</c><00:15:09.240><c> was</c><00:15:09.460><c> not</c><00:15:09.659><c> God's</c><00:15:10.000><c> glory,</c><00:15:10.179><c> because</c><00:15:10.320><c> it</c><00:15:10.659><c> was.</c>

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:21.580
And<00:15:16.539><c> John</c><00:15:16.740><c> tells</c><00:15:17.080><c> us,</c><00:15:17.440><c> and</c><00:15:17.440><c> the</c><00:15:17.580><c> word</c><00:15:18.259><c> was</c><00:15:18.919><c> made</c><00:15:19.320><c> flesh</c><00:15:19.600><c> and</c><00:15:19.919><c> dwelt</c><00:15:20.059><c> among</c><00:15:20.360><c> us,</c><00:15:21.000><c> and</c><00:15:21.279><c> we</c>

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.159
But<00:15:24.960><c> then</c><00:15:25.179><c> John</c><00:15:25.379><c> qualifies</c><00:15:25.980><c> that.</c>

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.980
Now,<00:15:36.080><c> you</c><00:15:36.240><c> just</c><00:15:36.460><c> think</c><00:15:36.639><c> about</c><00:15:36.980><c> this.</c>

00:15:38.460 --> 00:15:46.759
The<00:15:38.899><c> purpose</c><00:15:39.419><c> of</c><00:15:39.720><c> that</c><00:15:39.940><c> miracle</c><00:15:40.480><c> was</c><00:15:41.659><c> that</c><00:15:41.820><c> Jesus</c><00:15:42.299><c> might</c><00:15:42.960><c> clearly</c><00:15:43.700><c> demonstrate</c><00:15:44.539><c> forth</c><00:15:45.000><c> his</c><00:15:45.740><c> glory,</c>

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.539
That's<00:16:03.460><c> how</c><00:16:03.600><c> the</c><00:16:03.759><c> miracle</c><00:16:04.000><c> opens.</c>

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.420
She<00:20:32.160><c> comes</c><00:20:32.400><c> to</c><00:20:32.559><c> the</c><00:20:32.660><c> Lord</c><00:20:32.819><c> Jesus</c><00:20:33.220><c> Christ,</c><00:20:33.640><c> they</c><00:20:33.940><c> have</c><00:20:34.160><c> no</c><00:20:34.480><c> wine.</c>

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:56.480

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:46.480
So<00:26:45.140><c> that</c><00:26:45.299><c> was</c><00:26:45.500><c> the</c><00:26:45.599><c> whole</c><00:26:45.819><c> point</c><00:26:46.079><c> of</c><00:26:46.200><c> it.</c>

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:51.099
And,<00:26:47.119><c> of</c><00:26:47.400><c> course,</c><00:26:48.140><c> it</c><00:26:48.180><c> was</c><00:26:48.559><c> the</c><00:26:48.839><c> bridegroom's</c><00:26:49.519><c> responsibility</c><00:26:50.440><c> to</c><00:26:50.759><c> provide</c>

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:53.779
This<00:26:52.180><c> very</c><00:26:52.559><c> miracle</c><00:26:53.019><c> proves</c><00:26:53.400><c> that.</c>

00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.240
Because<00:26:54.079><c> when</c><00:26:54.359><c> the</c><00:26:54.500><c> new</c><00:26:54.720><c> wine</c><00:26:54.940><c> was</c><00:26:55.180><c> presented</c><00:26:55.460><c> to</c><00:26:55.660><c> the</c><00:26:55.799><c> governor,</c><00:26:56.099><c> he</c><00:26:56.319><c> called</c><00:26:56.940><c> the</c>

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.940
So<00:27:00.980><c> it's</c><00:27:01.400><c> a</c><00:27:01.400><c> disaster</c><00:27:02.099><c> for</c><00:27:02.380><c> the</c><00:27:02.599><c> bridegroom</c><00:27:03.079><c> when</c><00:27:03.279><c> that</c><00:27:03.599><c> runs</c><00:27:03.920><c> out.</c>

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.200

00:27:22.740 --> 00:27:26.680

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:33.359

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:44.859
And<00:27:42.799><c> He</c><00:27:43.000><c> provided</c><00:27:43.460><c> it.</c>

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:47.440

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:59.059
But<00:27:55.660><c> you</c><00:27:55.900><c> see,</c><00:27:56.859><c> those</c><00:27:57.099><c> six</c><00:27:57.440><c> waterpots</c><00:27:57.900><c> of</c><00:27:58.220><c> stone</c><00:27:58.440><c> were</c><00:27:58.740><c> there</c>

00:28:01.859 --> 00:28:05.619
Obviously<00:28:02.400><c> John</c><00:28:02.680><c> is</c><00:28:02.859><c> trying</c><00:28:03.019><c> to</c><00:28:03.220><c> tell</c><00:28:03.299><c> us</c><00:28:03.480><c> that</c><00:28:03.599><c> there's</c><00:28:03.819><c> a</c><00:28:04.039><c> contrast</c><00:28:04.480><c> between</c><00:28:04.920><c> law</c><00:28:05.319><c> or</c>

00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:12.859
Now<00:28:09.859><c> here's</c><00:28:10.160><c> the</c><00:28:10.259><c> remarkable</c><00:28:10.799><c> thing,</c><00:28:11.319><c> brothers</c><00:28:11.440><c> and</c><00:28:11.640><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:15.180
Wine<00:28:13.160><c> has</c><00:28:13.440><c> all</c><00:28:13.680><c> that</c><00:28:13.940><c> significance,</c><00:28:14.480><c> as</c><00:28:14.519><c> I've</c><00:28:14.819><c> told</c><00:28:15.000><c> you.</c>

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:17.769
And<00:28:15.420><c> I</c><00:28:15.559><c> could</c><00:28:15.740><c> turn</c><00:28:15.940><c> the</c><00:28:16.119><c> scriptures</c><00:28:16.339><c> up,</c><00:28:16.559><c> and</c><00:28:16.640><c> you</c><00:28:16.779><c> know</c><00:28:17.000><c> that.</c>

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:19.500
But<00:28:18.119><c> it</c><00:28:18.240><c> just</c><00:28:18.420><c> literally</c><00:28:18.819><c> abounds.</c>

00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.220
The<00:28:20.059><c> scripture</c><00:28:20.299><c> abounds</c><00:28:20.940><c> with</c><00:28:21.259><c> references</c><00:28:21.680><c> to</c><00:28:22.259><c> the</c><00:28:22.460><c> symbolic</c>

00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:26.750
But<00:28:25.359><c> think</c><00:28:25.640><c> about</c><00:28:25.980><c> this.</c>

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:31.240
But<00:28:28.460><c> there</c><00:28:28.599><c> was</c><00:28:28.720><c> an</c><00:28:28.940><c> incident</c><00:28:29.160><c> which</c><00:28:29.500><c> happened</c><00:28:30.380><c> during</c><00:28:30.940><c> the</c>
