Turning water into wine.

Now That Jesus is here, lets start going over the miracles He performed. We will try to knock these out in the order they happened.

Jesus turns water into wine.

John 2:1-11

(1) And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: (2) and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. (3) And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. (4) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. (5) His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. (6) And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. (7) Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. (8) And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. (9) When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, (10) and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. (11) This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

This is a great passage of Jesus’s first miracle. It is pretty much cut and dry and straight to the point. As I read this, a few things I see that I think is pretty important.

    The 1^st thing is Mary makes it pretty clear to Jesus that He needs to do something about them not having wine. The one thing to note is Jesus also makes it clear that it wont be on her or His time but Gods. Yes, Jesus will perform the miracle but the timing has to be in God’s plan.

    The 2^nd thing is Mary understood Jesus’s comment and wisely told the servants to do what Jesus instructs them to do. This is an act of obedience that we must adhere to for God to do miracles in our life.

    The 3^rd thing is Jesus would need vessels to work with. Are we a willing vessel, are we empty of impurities, or are we so full of junk that there is no room for anything to be added to our lives. There can be so many things that can account for why we do not see any viable presence of God in our lives.

    The 4^th thing is Jesus will always give you His best. The customs back at that time is that the good wine would be served first, and after everyone was already drunk/buzzed however you want to put it, then they would serve the not so good wine. So even after all the wine had been drunk, He still provides good wine even though it would not have mattered at the time. Jesus will always give you His best.

  We have to remember in our lives, we do have needs. We have to make sure we wait upon God, let His timing be perfect, continue to be obedient, empty ourselves of anything that would effect ourselves becoming full of God. We then can expect the Best God has to offer us. We can give Him the Glory and will have great testimonies to share with others.

Some extra reading:

James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Isaiah 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
