John 2:1-12
Nathaniel was from Cana in Galilee.
On the third day after he met the Lord Jesus, there was a wedding in his home town, which was about eight miles north of Nazareth. It was at this wedding that Jesus performed his first miracle. Jesus’ first miracle was at Cana!
Through this first miracle the Lord Jesus manifested His glory.
His disciples believed in Him. They began to understand that the Lord Jesus was no mere man or prophet that they were following, but the almighty Son of God!
Mary told the Lord Jesus that they had run out of wine.
Jesus responded by saying, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with me? My hour has not yet come”.
The Lord Jesus was not showing any disrespect to Mary in the manner of His response. The way He used the word “woman” was in a tender and loving manner.
The Lord Jesus used the expression 'My hour has not yet come' in relation to His death on the cross and His victory over death. His resurrection was the greatest of all His miracles.
The Lord Jesus never lost sight of the fact that He had come to earth to suffer and to die on the cross in order to save sinners.
Mary pointed people to her Son and said to the servants at the wedding, “Whatever He says to you, do it”.
Those servants obeyed the Lord Jesus and drew from the waterpots as He had instructed and found that a wonderful miracle had taken place. Blessing comes through obedience to His Word!
Is God challenging us as we read the Bible or through a sermon we have recently heard? — “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
The glory of the Lord Jesus was revealed to His disciples and to the wedding guests through this miracle. (n) They needed to see that the Son of Mary was no mere man, but also the Son of God.
