Abraham and Isaac - July 29 2018 by VOX Community

In the gospel of John, we see God illustrated through the work of Jesus. In John Chapter 2 we follow Jesus as he attends a wedding celebration. During the celebration, the wine begins to run low and Mary comes to Jesus in faith that he will provide. As one of the most well-known stories in the bible, Jesus takes water and turns it into wine. In biblical history, we know it’s the bridegroom who is responsible for providing for guests at the wedding. Here, Jesus steps in as the bridegroom to provide for his people. There’s a provision that comes through faith, and we see this in the story of the wine. This is what it looks like to have faith and be reminded of God’s grace. If your water is running low, God wants to fill you up in abundance. The water, once used for purification, is no longer needed. God’s grace has replaced it – he has made us whole and complete, and we can have faith that he provides.

This week, Jack West invites us to take a closer look at the table by studying John’s account of the eucharist in John 13. Instead of focusing on the meal, John focuses on the significance behind Jesus washing His disciples’ feet. It wasn’t just that Jesus performed the act of a servant—it’s that He did it knowing Judas would betray Him. He still washed his feet. He still invited Judas to partake of the bread and wine. He still forgave him. Jesus modeled how we should treat each other even when we’ve been hurt and betrayed. When we share the eucharist, we have the opportunity to extend the same grace Jesus showed us to those who have hurt and betrayed us, but are we? Jack closed by asking us to reflect on this: Are there stories of loss, betrayal, or harm that we’ve been part of that need to be retold in the context of grace and forgiveness?
