The Wedding at Cana
John 2:1-5
"On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’ ‘Woman, why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied. ‘My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’"
In this passage, we see Jesus' first recorded miracle at a wedding in Cana. When the wine runs out, His mother, Mary, brings the problem to Jesus. Despite His initial response, she instructs the servants to follow His directions, demonstrating her faith in His ability to resolve the situation.
Understanding the Miracle
Jesus' Divine Power
The miracle at Cana, where Jesus turns water into wine, reveals His divine power and foreshadows His transformative work. This first miracle is significant because it shows Jesus' concern for everyday needs and His willingness to intervene in our lives. It also signifies the beginning of His public ministry.
Significance of the Event
Faith and Obedience
Mary’s faith and the servants' obedience play crucial roles in this miracle. Mary trusts Jesus' ability to help, and the servants follow His instructions without question. This teaches us the importance of faith and obedience in experiencing God's work in our lives.
"His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’" — John 2:5

As we reflect on John 2:1-5, let us be inspired by the faith of Mary and the obedience of the servants. Let our lives be a testament to the power of trusting Jesus and following His guidance.
