Jesus turns water into wine

John 2:1-11

1. v4 – How does it concern you and me?
2. v4b – My hour has not yet come
3. v5 – Do as he says
4. v7 – Fill water in the wine jars
5. v10b – You’ve kept the best until the last.

1. Jesus had been to the wedding at Cana. It must’ve been a family and disciples wouldn’t have been there. Knowingly or unknowingly, we tend to crush others dreams without realizing their pain, because it doesn’t matter to us.
2. In Mathew 26:18, Jesus says “My time has come!” If he does a miracle there, then it will reveal His greatness to all. It would also be the first step towards the cross. Knowing all this, Jesus willingly takes this first step. Cross is the consequence of obeying the Lord in this godless world.
3. Mother knows her son will not go away from doing good.
4. Jesus was a God of small things. A God who encourages the small things to grow and proclaim His glory. The ordinary is transformed into something extraordinary.
5. If God’s grace touches you, people will see the new special things in you. When God touches you, you will be transformed into a new creation. (Romans 12:1-8).

The three things season of Lent stands on are fasting, prayer and alms giving. The season of Lent is the remembrance of the suffering Jesus went through in His journey to the cross. We don’t have any right to take this suffering lightly. We need to join with our Lord in prayer.
