- Passage: John 2:1-11
On the third day there was a wedding
at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus
also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When
the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My
hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do
whatever he tells you.”
6 Now
there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of
purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus
said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled
them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw
some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When
the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know
where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the
master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him,
“Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then
the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This,
the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his
glory. And his disciples believed in him.

Matt 9:15 - Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding
guests be sad while the groom is with them? The time will come when the groom will
be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

Matt 22:4 Again, he sent out other slaves, and
said, ‘Tell those who are invited: Look, I’ve prepared my dinner; my oxen and
fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the
wedding banquet.’
Matt 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The
wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matt 22:9 So go into the roads leading out of
town and invite as many people as you can find to the wedding.'
Matt 22:10 So those servants went out into the
highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good:
and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matt 22:11 And when the king came in to see the
guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

groom with them, they cannot fast.

wedding guests fast while the groom is with them, can you?
Luk 7:32 They're like little children who sit in
the marketplace and shout to each other, "A wedding song we played for
you, the dance you all did scorn. A woeful dirge we chanted, too, but then you
would not mourn.'
Luk 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that
wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh

- Big Ideas:
- #1 - If you believe these miracles and
"I am" statements about the Christ, you may have life in His
name! - "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in
his name." John 20:31
#2 -This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and
manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. - John 2:11
- Recap:
Here are 3 important lessons we can take away
from this miraculous event at Cana:
1. Take Your Requests to Jesus but Humbly Accept
His Answer
The wine supply ran out during the festivities,
so Jesus’s mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus
replied. “My time has not yet come.” John 2:3-4
2. Cultivate a Humble and Obedient Heart
But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he
tells you.” John 2:5
3. Remember that in God’s Hands, the Ordinary
Becomes Extraordinary
When the master of ceremonies tasted the water
that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the
servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. “A host always serves the best
wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings
out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!” John 2:9-10
