Priesthood

So, I learned something new last night. The reason why Christ waited till he was 30 to start ministry was because that was Jewish custom. Can you imagine having to be patient and waiting knowing your whole life the ministry you were destined for is already so clear. At the same time knowing the purpose at the end would probably kept me content to wait. I mean, I'm 21 and I am so excited to carry out God's will through my life but I know I'm not prepared or ready for that yet and I know God agrees with me. I wish I was trying to be humble. God teach me your ways and let me be patient until my time has come. OH!!! I almost forgot so reading the bible I found something so cool.
In John 2, Jesus and a few of the disciples were at a wedding and Mary comes to him and says they are out of wine. Jesus responds with, "What does this have to do with us? My time hasn't come yet." This is so prophetic and I never even realized it. Jesus was intentionally, yet in that "I'm Jesus and I speak like this so you listen closely" way, stating that it was not time to celebrate his wedding. For those who don't really know it was the responsibility of the groom or groom's family to provide the wine for the wedding feast. Knowing full well what she was really wanting of him, and thus catalyzing his signs and wonders portion of his ministry. but what an awesome thing to be present to if you could understand that his position of bridegroom was established in his mind the entire time. That He was waiting for his bride to be ready through his own sacrifice. What an amazing way of saying I'm not the one getting married yet.
