In the Gospel of John only 7 miracles are noted and John calls these 'signs'. Here comes the first.
We got to go to a wedding this week in Cana; a small village north of Nazareth by 9 miles ( half a day's walk). The greatest faux pas occurred when the wine ended before the party…and they were big drinkers! Jesus Honored his Mother by fulfilling her request to fix the problem.(what did he do around the house that let her know he could tackle this …hmmm?) In the most quiet of ways, the best wine appeared. We discussed lots of symbolism in this passage; bride/bridegroom, new wine, clay vessels, being filled to overflowing, and doing what your mom tells you( I think that's a commandment LOL)
Next week we tackle that 'born again' stumbling block.
Trivia
Only ONE miracle/sign is found in ALL four Gospels…Name it!
