Lesson
from page B5
After what we assume toW
a few days of celebration,
Mary comes to Jesus to
inform Him that the wine
had run out.xMary evident
ly expected Jesus to do
"something." His response
however was to ask
"Woman, what have I to do
with thee? Mine hour is not
yet come." (John 2:4). In
other words, it was not yet
time for Jesus to reveal
Himself. Believing that
Jesus would somehow rem
edy the situation, Mary
instructs the staff to follow
His instructions. Jesus then
instructed the servants to
fill the large stone water
pots (six containing 20 to
30 gallons of water each) to
the brim with water. The
water pots which were cer
emonial have now been
temporarily defiled, but"
He chose to put friends1
needs over the demands of
ritual ... by using the jars
for another purpose, Jesus
was also pointing out that
there was nothing inherent
ly "holy" about them (UMI
Annual Commentary 2015
16).
Note that Jesus does no
blessing, no chant, does not
touch the pots or the water.
He merely says, "Draw out
now and bear unto the gov
ernor of the feast." (vs8).
Upon tasting the wine, the
master called the
Bridegroom aside and
asked why he saved the
best wine for the last. Jesus
has now saved His friend
from social embarrassment
while showing His love for
them and has revealed His
glory and caused His disci
ples to believe on Him.
This was Jesus first "sign."
Jesus always kept the end
results of any actions in
mind (UMI Annual
Commentary 2015-16).
After changing the water to
fine wine, Jesus and His
mother, brothers and disci
ples left for Capernaum,
which became His head
quarters for a large part of
His public ministry (see
Matt. 4:13, Mark 1:21;
2:1).
Life's Application:
Just as Jesus thought of His
friends and what to do, He
also knew and took into
consideration what God
had for Him to do. He saw
the opportunity to help the
friend and glorify God. We ?
should look for these same
opportunities. We should
not boast but act so that the
God in us is seen by others
in our life. Jesus is the way
and we only need to trust
Him, knowing that He is
there to watch over us and
strengthen us in all life's
situations.

Carolina Council of
Churches.
Since receiving the
AED, the church has striv
en to meet certain require
ments in order to uphold
continued approval and
maintenance of the device,
one of which being the
recertification of a key
number of non-medical
members in CPR/AED
techniques every two years.
Accordingly, funded by
a mini-grant from Partners
in Health and Wholeness of
the North Carolina Council
of Churches, Goler's
Health Ministry began a
campaign to acquire
Adult/Child CPR & AED
training for its non-medical
members at the start of the
current conference year. As
a result of the campaign, 24
of Goler's members, along
side another five individu
als from across the Winston
Salem District of the
A.M.E. Zion Church,
received Adult/Child CPR
& AED certification by the
American Red Cross.
In addition to its collec
tive efforts, the Rev.
Johnny L. Ruff has fre
quently taken it upon him
self to lead discussions
with the congregation
about healthy nutrition and
lifestyle choices. Other
church members have also
sphere-headed discussions
which aim to educate the
congregation on health dis
parities that disproportion
ately affect blacks, such as
Carol Henry's presentation
of "Stroke and Heart
Disease Prevention" and
Kimberly Ellerbe's inspira
tional testimony about her
own recent health chal
lenges and miracles.
For the congregation,
the story of Kimberly, an
active member of the
church and honorary mem
ber of Goler's Health
Ministry, has been espe
cially important. In May,
Kimberly experienced a
sudden change in her
health status and was hos
pitalized. At the time, her
condition seemed hopeless
and her physicians estimat
ed that she might never
leave the hospital. Yet, to
the amazement of many,
Kimberly recovered in
what she relates as a mira
cle. They insist that her
quiet sense of humor and
spirit has added great
strength to the congrega
tion and has enhanced the
Health Ministry's holistic
belief of body, mind and
spirit.
In the future, Goler's
Health Ministry plans to
continue its efforts toward
promoting a healthier con
gregation and hopes to
receive more recognition
from the Partners in Health
and Wholeness, which reg
ularly awards Bronze,
Silver and Gold certificates
to churches throughout the
state with participating
Health Ministries that meet
the designated criteria.
