John 2:1-11
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,
2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
4 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."
5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so,
9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
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.

At this wedding we see Jesus in three roles, first a guest, second a son and third a host. Jesus did not stay away from the social life around him, as against John the Baptist, he did make use those opportunities to connect with people. Jesus entered into normal happenings of life and He made those events a memorable one with his presence. Though they were not aware of whom they invited as their guest, this couple is lucky. Aren't we lucky because we invited Jesus into our life as our Lord?

Mary was informing the situation to Jesus, because she believed her son would handle the situation well, though no one knew what way he could help. Jesus was a responsible son. The first miracle of Jesus was not a spectacular event that everybody noticed. Those who were at the table did not even know that such a thing took place. Few disciples, his mother and few servants who helped out to bring water were the only witness to this miracle.

Isn't it thoughtful to see Jesus started his work from a wedding? God challenged the Israelites that they were not faithful to Him. Jesus started where God felt hurt, bringing the joy of union of God and man on an occasion of a wedding.

Turning water into blood was a warning for Pharaoh, a warning for judgment. While by turning water into wine, Jesus opens the door for eternal joy spring out from our heart. Enjoy being with God today morning. He is in control.
