约翰福音［第2章］
[耶稣自我启示的开始]

1．缺乏中的顺服与预备（v1-5）

婚宴酒用尽，是极大的羞辱。马利亚将难处带到耶稣面前，虽然耶稣说“我的时候还没有到”，但马利亚仍吩咐用人顺服祂的指示，为神迹预备空间。

2．神迹中的启示与信心（v6-11）

耶稣将水变为上好的酒，预表旧约向新约的转化、人力转向神恩。这神迹显出祂的荣耀，使门徒开始真正信靠祂。

二、洁净圣殿显祂权柄（约2:12-22）

1．责备敬虔的败坏（v13-17）

耶稣在圣殿里赶出做买卖的人，责备他们将祷告的殿变为买卖的场所，显示祂对神圣事的热心与公义。

2．宣告复活的权柄（v18-22）

面对质疑，耶稣预告：“你们拆毁这殿，我三日内要再建立起来。”祂不是只洁净外在，更宣告自己就是那真正的圣殿——祂的死而复活是最大的神迹与权柄。

三、洞察人心显祂神性（约2:23-25）

1. 人心的热情未必真实（v23）

耶稣行神迹，引来许多人的相信，但这只是基于外在的奇事，而非对祂身份的真正认识。

2．耶稣知道人心所存的（v24-25）

祂不将自己交托人，因为祂知道人心的真实。祂的智慧不单显于言行，也显于祂对人的彻底认识——祂知道谁是真信，谁是假意。

总结：启示的邀请与回应

今天，耶稣也在邀请我们——不只是听祂、传讲祂、尊重祂，而是回应祂！

John 2
The Beginning of Jesus’ Self-Revelation

1.Obedience and Preparation Amid Lack (v.1–5)

The shortage of wine at the wedding feast was a great shame. Mary brought the need to Jesus. Although He said, “My hour has not yet come,” Mary still instructed the servants to obey His directions—thus preparing space for a miracle.

2.Revelation and Faith Through the Miracle (v.6–11)

Jesus turned water into the best wine, symbolizing the transition from the Old Covenant to the New, and from human effort to divine grace. This miracle revealed His glory and caused His disciples to truly believe in Him.

II.He Revealed His Authority by Cleansing the Temple (John 2:12–22)

1.Rebuking the Corruption of Worship (v.13–17)

Jesus drove out those buying and selling in the temple, rebuking them for turning His Father’s house of prayer into a marketplace. This showed His zeal for God‘s holiness and justice.

2.Declaring the Authority of His Resurrection (v.18–22)

In response to the Jews‘ challenge, Jesus said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” He wasn’t just cleansing a physical temple—He was proclaiming Himself as the true temple. His death and resurrection would be the greatest sign and display of His authority.

III.He Revealed His Divinity by Knowing Human Hearts (John 2:23–25)

1.Outward Enthusiasm May Not Be Genuine (v.23)

Though many believed in Him because of the signs He did, their faith was based on miracles—not a true understanding of who He was.

2.Jesus Knows the Hearts of All (v.24–25)

Jesus did not entrust Himself to them because He knew what was in people. His wisdom was not only shown through words and deeds but also through His perfect knowledge of human hearts—He knew who truly believed and who did not.

Conclusion: An Invitation to Respond to Revelation

Today, Jesus is also inviting us—not just to listen to Him, speak of Him, or respect Him, but to respond to Him!
