Overview:

Jesus is invited to a wedding with his disciples; his mother, Mary was also there. The wine runs
out – an embarrassing problem for the hosts – but Mary brings the matter to Jesus, asking Him
to solve the problem. She then tells the servants: “Do whatever he tells you.”

The disciples are there to see this miracle unfold, which means Jesus chose a party to “kick-
off” his public ministry.

Mary had deep concern for the hosts of this wedding feast, so she asks Jesus to step in and
help – and he does it. By performing this miracle, Jesus shows us that nothing is
inconsequential. Every predicament, large or small, is an opportunity to seek divine
intervention. Not to mention continued reasons to celebrate! The issues that cause us worry –
both great and small – are the issues that Jesus is concerned with too, because of the
opportunity they present to us – but we must do our part. Following Mary’s example, we
should first ask Him for help, in faith; and then we do whatever He tells us!

Bible passages to read:

  • Luke 2:41-52 – Jesus is found in the temple
  • John 2:1-11 – Jesus turns water into wine
  • Proverbs 30:4 – What is his name, or that of his son

Reflection Questions

  • Do you struggle with anxiety? What things do you tend to worry about the most and why?
  • Do you ask Jesus to help with the seemingly small stuff? Why or why not?
  • Jesus used an everyday occasion to reveal his glory. How would you describe a common
    event in your life through which He revealed His glory? How did this increase your faith?
