Abraham had a day with some great news and some bad news. The good news was that God reaffirmed His promise that Sarah would have a child within a year. The bad news was that Sodom and Gomorrah would be destroyed for their wickedness.

In the midst of the disciples' anxiety, Jesus gives them a hope that goes beyond anything they will suffer in the future. It's the same hope that sustains Christians today when they're suffering. That hope is heaven!

The first miracle of Jesus' ministry seems like an oddity to our western mindset. Why would Jesus use His power for something that seems almost trivial? However, there are deeper lessons in this amazing miracle.
