Wedding Plans

John 2:1-11 records the first miracle Jesus did in his ministry on earth. It was at the celebration of a wedding. Since Jesus’ mother was invited, we could rightfully assume the bride and groom were either relatives or friends of the family. One of the interesting points of this story is Jesus’ response to his mother.

“Woman, what does your concern have to do with me? My hour is not yet come.” Yet Jesus still remedied the situation by providing wine through a miracle. John said, “This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana off Galilee, and manifested his glory.”

Why did Jesus break his timing? Could it be that Jesus sometimes does special things for his family, God for his children just because he loves us?

Don’t be afraid to ask.
