9 Reasons God Wants to Do Miracles Through Teenagers
4. Miracles Show God’s Glory
In John 2, Jesus attended a wedding. Disaster struck when they ran out of wine. (Can you imagine a wedding reception with no cake? It was that much of a problem.) Jesus had not done any miracles yet, but His mother, Mary, knew who her Son was. Mary told Jesus:
“They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied.
“My time has not yet come.”
But His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He
tells you” (John 2:3-5).
Remember, Jesus only did what He saw His Father doing in Heaven. If He didn’t turn the water into wine at first, it was because He didn’t see His Father doing it. But when Mary used her faith and told everyone to do what her Son said, something happened in Heaven. Jesus took another look at His Father, and God was turning water into wine. Jesus saw what the Father was doing through the faith of His mother.
Now was the time for Jesus to be glorified. Jesus’ first miracle happened because of His mom’s faith, and when miracles happen, God gets the glory. His power pushes away satan’s kingdom of darkness with the light of God’s presence. The glory of God makes darkness disappear, and God’s Kingdom of light takes its place. The Kingdom of Heaven rules—and you get to do this too! You can bring God’s Kingdom of light and glory into the darkness.
