PeterP started learning John chapter 2

I love the gospel of John!
I seem to remember you've worked on John quite a bit in the past. Are you repeating some of it, or? If I may ask :)

No, I’m still working on it. It’s a very long-term project! And my approach has been fairly haphazard! I actually leant John 15 first, several years ago, then expanded it to chapters 14-17. Then I did 10-13 and 18-21. So now I have a more definite aim to work through chapters 1-9 in order to complete the whole gospel.
Most of it is quite familiar to me on the surface, but the LearnScripture process is really helpful (especially in the teaching sections) in making me slow down and consider what Jesus actually said.

"you have kept the good wine until now" That's my favourite bit . What God is giving us NOW!

Amen, PeterP that's exactly how I feel too.

janet23, I also like verses 14-17 in that chapter. Jesus' zeal in cleansing the temple.

Janet, yes! God gives the best wine, and in such abundance! Six jars of ‘20 to 30 gallons’ equates to 600-900 regular bottles by my reckoning. I’m sure that was way more than they needed! But God always wants to bless us in abundance.

in the twinkling of an eye Jesus produced fine wine, something that takes about 25 years!

Enjoy your journey through John. Your journey sounds like mine. I need to get them all through to 100% now. ( Will start on that goal soon. )
