Jesus turned water into wine

2

[John 2:11]

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee.

He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

3

When Jesus was 30 years old, he began to preach the Gospel.

There were also disciples who followed of Jesus.

4

Jesus and his disciples were invited to a wedding in the area called Cana.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, also attended the wedding.

Jesus and his disciples went to Cana to join the wedding.

5

One of the important foods in the Jewish wedding feast is wine.

So, those who are preparing a wedding party have plenty of wine.

6

The marriage banquet in Cana was splendidly done.

Jesus and his disciples were also having a great time there.

7

However, there was a big problem at this delightful feast.

The feast was not over, but there was no more wine.

8

Mary, the mother of Jesus, who came to know this, came to Jesus and begged,

"This house has run out of wine."

Mary's words were suggesting to Jesus that he solve this problem.

9

Jesus, who received Mary's favor, said to his mother,

"Mother, this thing is not related to me." This means that Jesus,

who came into this world by the will of God, would only do God’s will.

10

Mary said to the servants of the marriage feast.

"Do whatever he tells you."

11

There were six water jars made of stone in the house.

The jars were originally used for the purification ceremony of the Jews.

These were the jars that kept the water used to wash their dirty feet when they went out

and cleaned their hands before and after eating.

12

Jesus told the servants to fill the stone jars with water.

The servants filled each pot with water as Jesus said.

They simply did what Jesus said.

13

After filling the jars with water, Jesus said again.

"Now you shall take the water out of the jar and bring it to the master of the banquet."

The servants obeyed the word and took the water and brought it to the master of the banquet.

14

The banquet master tasted the water that the servant was offering.

The water turned into an amazingly delicious wine.

The banquet master was amazed at the taste of the wine.

15

The Banquet Master praised the groom.

"At other weddings, people always put out good wines first, then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink ; but you have saved the best till now."

The banquet master did not know where this wine had come coming from.

But the servants knew that the wine was a miracle Jesus had performed.

16

The miracle that turned water into wine from Cana's wedding banquet was the first miracle

that Jesus performed. Through that miracle, God revealed His glory through Jesus.

He showed us that he is the Son of God.

And the disciples came to believe in Jesus.

17

Through today's Word we have seen the miracles that Jesus does.

The water that washes the hands and feet of men was miraculously turned into wine by Jesus.

Like this, Jesus performs miracles for us.

Even though we are weak and needy, Jesus can make us great for His work.
