7 day ministry of christ
Day 1-John the Baptist was questioned about his authority. Religious leaders were asking John the Baptist to identify himself. John replied, “I am not the Christ” (John 1:20). The Jews then later asked, “Are you Elijah?” The Jews believed that Elijah would come before the Messiah (Malachi 4:5), but they understood this to be a resurrected or reincarnated Elijah. An angel has promised John’s father that John would be the forerunner of Christ and would have the spirit of Elijah (Luke 1:17). Christ also asserted that John was the Elijah of the prophecy (Matt 11:14; 17:12; Mark 9:11-13). John denied that he was the Elijah that the Jews had expected. Then the Jews asked if John the Baptist was a prophet which was found on the promise in Deuteronomy 18:15 that the Lord God would raise up a prophet. John denied this claim by the Jews also.

Originally the invitation was for only Jesus alone, however the groom most likely did not know about the disciples that Jesus had acquired. Thus the disciples of Jesus were one likely reason that the amount of wine was in shortage and ran out. Learning of the embarrassment, Mary said to Jesus, “they ran out of wine.” Jesus’ reply indicated that his time has not yet come. It does not imply that he is denying himself as the messiah rather that his time of supplying the messianic benefit to the nation Israel has not yet come. He cannot do this until he has been accepted as the messiah by the nation first. Day 4- Jesus left the Judea and went on to Galilee. The first person that Jesus met was Philip, whom he called to join him in his ministry. Philip later went on to tell his friend Nathanael about Jesus. At first Nathanael was a bit prejudiced that anyone can come out of the town Nazareth (v.46). After Jesus revealed his omniscience to Nathanael, it led Nathanael to believe that Jesus was the Son of God that he claims to be. Day 6/7- Jesus spent the next few days
