Thoughts on John 2

Greetings everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I just read John chapter 2 and saw something very interesting. In verse 1 through 11 Jesus, His mother, and disciples were all invited to a wedding (vs. 1-2). There was wine being served there and it had all run out. I am sure that was a very embarrassing ordeal for the hosts (v. 3a). Jesus' mother approaches Him and asks Him to do something (v. 3b). In verse 4 Jesus asks her why she is getting Him involved in this, that His time hasn't come yet. (v. 4). There is wide speculation as to what "...My time has not yet come" comment means. I guess it means that He wasn't ready to perform any miracles yet or He wasn't ready to reveal Him self yet, or something else entirely. But, in any rate He helped the wedding party hosts out. In verses 6 through 8 we see that there were six stone jars sitting near by and Jesus told the servants to fill each of them to the top with water. Then He told them to scoop some out and take it to the host of the wedding party. By that time it had been miraculously been turned to wine. The host thought the wine was very impressive and pulled the bridegroom aside and told him that everyone puts out the best wine first and the down-sized stuff last, but that he saved the best wine for the end. No one knew but the servants were this came from (vs. 7-10). Verse 11 indicates that this was the first miraculous sign that Jesus performed and that His disciples first started to believe in Him then.
John is a remarkable gospel account, because it was written to help us believe in Jesus as the Messiah. These stories were written by eye-witnesses who wrote so those who come after them will believe in Jesus too.
God bless you!
