“They have no wine.” (John 2: 3).
Mary told Jesus at the wedding party at Cana. This is the first miracle of Jesus. What a story it tells about Jesus and His ways. Some people choose to believe that Christianity is a kill joy religion. No fun whatsoever. Only fasting, armsgiving and praying. This first miracle at Cana demolishes this. If Jesus did not perform the miracle, shortage of wine would not invalidate the marriage. Jesus performed the miracle to show His pleasure in the celebration of marriage.
"Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” (John 2: 10).
There is a word of encouragement for us here. God in His most powerful Providence reserves the best for us to the last. Don't give up.
Another truth we can take away from the Miracle at Cana is this:
‘Tis not from chance our comfort springs, Thou art our trust, O King of kings." (Lauds - Liturgy of the Hours).
Not even a single comfort you enjoy in life come from chance or accident. Every single comfort you enjoy comes from the God of all consolation and comforts. (2 Corinthians 1: 3).
This is an incredibly powerful promise. Will you share this good news?
