This Easter, we look at the resurrection of Jesus as an example of what each of us can experience by becoming born again. Jesus told Nicodemus "you must be born again." Even the high-brow religious elite are not good enough to enter heaven. God's Spirit is moving, ready to bring you to life spiritually. Jesus died and rose again so that by His power and grace, you too can come to life though you were dead in your sins.

We survey the whole New Testament to find that the cross is God's expression of love for us. God demonstrates His own love towards us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

The next greater thing Jesus did after the wedding wine miracle was to enter Jerusalem's Temple and drive out the moneychangers and the critters. While John puts this in chapter two, the other Gospel writers told this story at the end of their accounts, on Palm Sunday. This Temple cleansing shows us that humanity has a constant need for cleansing.

Jesus' first miracle was at a wedding. The moment got Him thinking about the cross: His love for mankind, this couple's love for one another. To foreshadow the life and fullness He'd give us at the cross, He fills the wedding party's empty glasses with water turned into the best wine.

Jesus calls Philip to follow Him. The first thing Philip does is to invite his own friend, Nathanael, to meet Jesus too. Nathanael at first is skeptical, but then Jesus shows him a glimpse of His glory. Nathanael is hooked -- he believes that Jesus is the son of God, the king of Israel. Jesus wants to show us greater things too, but He is waiting for us to have the faith to see Him at work.

John the Baptist prepared the world to meet Jesus. He clearly testified that he himself was not the Christ, but the one coming after him was greater than he because that One existed before him. Now Jesus is younger than John by six months. However Jesus, being the Word, existed from the beginning (1:1-3).

Jesus reveals the whole scoop about God. Other leaders before and after Him told us bits and pieces, but Jesus pulls back the curtain to tell us everything because He Himself IS everything.
