R³ Devotional - Day 279
R³ Devotional - Day 279 - John 2
By: Anderson Baptist Church
John 2:1–11 — The wedding at Cana, John 2:13–22 — The cleansing of the temple
Jesus Transforms What We Surrender
"Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim. — John 2:7
Real-Life Principle:
When we offer Jesus what we have—even if it seems ordinary—He can transform it into something extraordinary for His glory.
Relevant Life Application:
In ministry: Encourage leaders and volunteers to bring their “water”—their time, gifts, and willingness. Jesus does the transforming.
In personal life: Don’t wait for perfect conditions to serve or obey. Offer what you have now, and trust God to multiply it.
In church culture: Celebrate testimonies of transformation—how God turned brokenness into beauty, scarcity into abundance, ordinary in extraordinary.
True Worship Requires Cleansing
"Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade." — John 2:16
Real-Life Principle:
Jesus confronts anything that corrupts worship. He calls us to purity, reverence, and alignment with the Father’s heart.
Relevant Life Application:
In leadership: Regularly assess ministry practices—are they driven by mission or maintenance? Invite honest reflection and repentance.
In congregational life: Teach that worship is not just music or ritual, but a lifestyle of surrender. Create space for confession and renewal.
In outreach: Model integrity and authenticity. Let the church be known not for performance, but for presence—God’s presence.
Ready Action Steps and Reflection
What “water” do I need to surrender to Jesus today?
Is there anything in my heart or ministry that needs cleansing for true worship?
Make a time of prayer, asking Jesus to transform and purify—so that the church may reflect His glory and passion.
