In John 2, Jesus performed His first miracle. He turned water into wine at a wedding. The thing is, when you look at the way wedding were done in ancient times, they were what we would call, a big party. Dancing, drinking, singing, and more were done at a wedding. Jesus had to travel a great distance to get to this wedding, meaning that we could deduce at least two things from this. 1. That Jesus was well liked enough to know people who lived far away. Remember, they didn't hop into a taxi and get there a couple hours later, they had to take donkeys and go on foot. He must have been a good enough Guy to know these people and be invited. 2. Jesus turned water into WINE. It's not to say that Jesus was a wino, but rather the fact that the "party" was still going, and He genuinly cared enough for the bride and groom to keep the party going! I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like a stick-in-the-mud kind of Person. In Luke 10, we see that Jesus becomes with "joy from the Holy Spirit" when in the presence of children. The idea of Jesus being a stern-faced Man, who never smiled, well likely comes from our perception of Him in art, much the same way that we perceive Him as white, with brown hair and blue eyes. But imagine for a moment, just how popular of a person would be if they never smiled? Jesus was enormously popular in a lot of regions, meaning that He had to be quite a Guy.

How is Jesus' humanity emphasized in John?
The GospelsThe gospels present Jesus Christ in a different light That light is proclaimed at the beginning of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, The gospels present Jesus Christ in a different light, That light is proclaimed at the beginning of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each GospelMatthew starts with the identification of Joseph (Mary's Husband) being of the king line of Judah of the house of David, therefore Christ as his inheritance of King of IsraelMark starts with the anointing of Jesus Christ, therefore that gospel presents Jesus as the anointed oneLuke starts with the identification of John's parents and Mary cousin of Elizabeth as the daughters of Aaron of the tribe of Levi which is the priest line. Therefore Jesus is presented as possessing the office of high priest via Aaron. John presents Jesus Christ the eternal transcending the flesh as written in Genesis 2 - The tree of life and Genesis 14 - Melchizedek and Daniel 3 as the Son of God with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Therefore the Jeasus proves the flesh is temporary and it can be overcome with victory through the example he made for us all and through him as the door, John 10
Was Paul or any of the authors of the four gospels an eyewitness to Jesus' miracles?
It is undisputed that Paul was not an eyewitness to the miracles that are recorded in the four gospels. Christian tradition hold that the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark and John were written by disciples of that name, who were eyewitnesses to some of the miracles that they reported. Since Christian tradition hold that Luke's Gospel was written by a young companion of Paul, then the author of this gospel was clearly not an eyewitness of the miracles. Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek and clearly used Mark's Gospel as its main source for the life of Jesus, as did Luke's Gospel. This can be shown because whenever Matthew and Luke agree with Mark, the Greek words are almost identical, something that could not have occurred if Matthew was relying on personal memory. Whenever Matthew and Luke agree on sayings of Jesus, that are not in Mark's Gospel, they use identical words for the sayings, but place them in different contexts and even different times of the ministry of Jesus. Scholars say they must have used as their sources a common document of sayings attributed to Jesus, a document now known as the Q Document, and created plausible contexts in which Jesus could have spoken those sayings. The fact that Matthew, as well as Luke, relied so heavily on Mark and the Q Document means that this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. John's Gospel was also written in Greek and shows evidence of borrowing much of its material from Luke's Gospel. Once again, this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. Only the author of Mark's Gospel could have been an eye-witness to the miracles, but much evidence internal to this gospel indicates that he was really writing a second-hand account. In summary, none of these authors was an eye-witness to the miracles.
What do the stories of Peter's promise Peter's Denial and Jesus' message to Peter at the Resurrection teach us about Peter?
These stories show Peter's loyalty and his human weaknesses. Despite his initial promise to always follow Jesus, he later denied him three times out of fear. However, Jesus' message to Peter at the Resurrection demonstrates forgiveness, reconciliation, and the opportunity for redemption.
How did Saint Matthew become a disciple?
Saint Matthew's death by martyrdom earned him his saint hood by the Catholic Church. Saint Matthew was one of the 12 Apostles chosen by Jesus.
What evidence is there Jesus was buried at Golgotha?
A:There is no real evidence as to either when or where Jesus was crucified. It is instructive to note that in his epistles, Paul seems to have been unaware that Jesus had lived and died in Palestine only a few years earlier. In his narrative of his travels, he shows no interest in visiting any the sites associated with the birth, mission or death of Jesus. While the gospels point to the event having taken place in either 30 or 33 CE at Golgotha or Calvary (which are presumably the same place) outside Jerusalem, Paul's epistles must also be given some weight, as must the fact that for the first three centuries, no interest was shown in the actual location. In the early fourth century, Helena located, to her own complete satisfaction, the very spot where Jesus was crucified and the original location of his tomb, as well as important relics such as the True Cross of Jesus. She also located the original site of the burning bush and many other previously unknown but important biblical sites. With so many improbable finds attributed to just one person, there is reason to doubt their veracity, leaving us with no evidence to back up the gospel account. Helena had a magnificent church built to mark the places where Jesus was supposedly crucified and buried, but this is evidence of nothing except piety.
What gospel shows that Jesus thought of everyone as equal?
This is a theme in all 4 Gospels but it is most clearly displayed in Jesus's treatment of the outcasts and women that is highlighted by Luke.
How can we follow Jesus example?
By reading about what he said and did in the gospels. Also read about those who were his followers, who carried on His work after He left earth. Keep in mind that no one in The Bible (except for Jesus) was perfect, and that shows that, like his disciples, we should try to emulate Jesus, but we can never be as "good" as Him.
What similarities are there between the Gospels and Christian beliefs?
There are many similarities between the gospels and christian doctrine, what is interesting however are the dissimilarites: Jesus is a devoted follower of Judaism yet Christianity rejects many tenets of Judaism Jesus shows little regard for gentiles, his teachings are suggested to be for Jews and Jews alone There is no mention in the bible of Mary's continued virginity in direct contrast to Catholic teaching - in fact Jesus is mentioned as having brothers and sisters Slavery is tolerated in the gospels There are many more of course but these are an interesting few ...
