The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg delves into John chapter 2 and explores the events surrounding Jesus' attendance at a wedding and the subsequent turning of water into wine. Gregg discusses the significance of Jesus referring to his mother as "woman" and clarifies that this was not a rude or dismissive gesture but rather a declaration that his time had not yet come. He also examines the symbolic significance of Jesus turning the water used for Jewish purification rituals into wine and how it represents a transformation of the heart.
