Memory Verse : John 2:5. Mary then went to the servers and told them, “Whatever Jesus tells you, make sure that you do it!”

Bible Reading :John 2:1-2. Key Verse :v 5.

Now on the third day there was a wedding feast in the Galilean village of Cana, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were all invited to the banquet, but with so many guests in attendance, they ran out of wine. And when Mary realized it, she came to him and asked, “They have no wine, can’t you do something about it?”

Jesus Christ was one of the invited guests in this particular marriage that took place in the village of Cana situated in Galilee. At the peak of the event, the host ran out of wine. In those days marriages lasted for about three to seven days in line with Jewish culture. As they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus went to him, demanding that he should do something to help them out. She then asked the hosts to do anything Jesus should ask them to do. “Now there were six stone water pots standing nearby. They were meant to be used for the Jewish washing rituals. Each one held about 20 gallons or more. Jesus came to the servers and told them, “Fill the pots with water, right up to the very brim.” Then he said, “Now fill your pitchers and take them to the master of ceremonies.” And when they poured out their pitcher for the master of ceremonies to sample, the water became wine! When he tasted the water that became wine, the master of ceremonies was impressed. (Although he didn’t know where the wine had come from, but the servers knew.)”John 2:6-9.

Though Jesus had no intention of doing a miracle there, he later gave in to the demands of his mother by giving them the needed assistance. He turned drinking water into one of the sweetest wine men ever drank in any occasion. “Jesus came to the servers and told them, “Fill the pots with water, right up to the very brim.” Then he said, “Now fill your pitchers and take them to the master of ceremonies.” And when they poured out their pitcher for the master of ceremonies to sample, the water became wine! When he tasted the water that became wine, the master of ceremonies was impressed. (Although he didn’t know where the wine had come from, but the servers knew.) He called the bridegroom over and said to him, “Every host serves his best wine first until everyone has had a cup or two, then he serves the wine of poor quality. But you, my friend, you’ve reserved the most exquisite wine until now!” John 2:7-10.

Now we need to learn that no man with Jesus as his guest gets stranded or disappointed in life circumstances notwithstanding. When you have him with you, he will always be your ever present help in times of need, Revelations 3:20, Psalms 46:1-7. Again, the celebrant had a miracle wine here because he followed the instructions of Jesus Christ himself as he was instructed by the mother of Jesus. The help of God will always be far away from anyone who refuses to obey the voice of the Lord in any given situation in life, Deuteronomy 7:11-16. Another thing we need to note from this incident is the need to develop capacity for the Spirit of God to live and work in us. The new wine everyone needs today to make our lives worthwhile is the Holy Spirit. We have to be open to him and willing to receive from him the newness of life that adds taste and colour to the lives of men. “And don’t get drunk with wine, which is rebellion; instead be filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit. And your hearts will overflow with a joyful song to the Lord Jehovah. Keep speaking to each other with words of Scripture, singing the Psalms with praises and spontaneous songs given by the Spirit!” Ephesians 5:18-19.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus because you are the God of new things. Thank you because no one having you in his/her gets stranded or disappointed. Help me to always discern and obey the voice of your Spirit in everything I do. Thank you for showing up on my behalf always in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Judges 16:22-31.
