The wedding in Cana

Just will share with Bible perls

John 2

1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.

To wedding was invited mother of Jesus, His disciples. But most blessed part is Jesus coming to wedding to bless people. I believe that in Galilee was also weddings, but other not invited Jesus. The most blessed part that Jesus because He loves people He coming when people inviting Him. From this 2 verses we know that Jesus were invited and He came.

When we read this first 2 verses about disciples we think that Jesus came with His 12 disciples. No! Look: on the third day writing ap. John was a wedding. But on the second day (Jn.1:35-51) the Lord has just Andrew, Peter, Philip, Nathanael(not apostle),and other John baptist's disciple that followed Jesus. Just few disciples, mother of Jesus and Jesus came to wedding in Cana.

3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” 4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”

Mary the mother of Jesus she knew that every problem, every need Jesus can solve. Special crisis problems. Usualy in Israel wedding celebrated one week. And because of it the food and all what is needed for celebrating it was prepared carefully. And if it was luck of food or wine it was shame. And so wine was finished. Crisis. But mother of Jesus she knew to Whom she need to come in crisis time. JESUS. And she came to Him: "They have no wine". And look how Jesus answering. "Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me?
Here allready Jesus say as Lord to woman. "My hour has not yet come". The Lord when He was on the earth He done Father's will. And even the hour, exactly a minute of his glorifying through miracle not came yet.

5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

So little bit about servants. Every God's child is servant. And it is privilage to be servant. How often we think that only our directly worshiping is service, but we need also remind His Word:
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”(Mrk.10:45)
Greatest servant is our Lord. He said that we need to serve people and He as Lord served people.
Blessing is there: to serve people as His servant.

And servants memorized His mother's word: "Whatever He says to you, do it".
We all remember transfiguration of the Lord Jesus. And when the Lord Jesus was transfigured the Father God said: 5 While he (ap.Peter) was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” (Mt.17:5).
Hear JESUS!
Mother of Jesus to servants: "Whatever He says to you, do it". To do absolutly all what Jesus says in His Word it is blessing.

6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.

In our modern measure every waterpot approx. may contain 100 or 150 liters of water.

7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

The Lord because He loves people He blesses people in full measure. "Fill the waterpots with water" said the Lord. And servants who memorized the word: "Whatever He says to you, do it", they filled them up. Look: filled all 6 waterpots of stone up to the BRIM. Filled up maximum.
What a good servants. That whatever Jesus says to them, they was prepared to do. And they filled all 600 liters up to the brim.

8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.
Here we see how servants not forgetting the word: "Whaterver He says to you, do it". And here is test. Servants knew that there was the water. And to take the water to the master of the feast and to say here are wine, it may brings misunderstandings. Here by faith in the Lord's Word the servants needed to do "WHATERVER HE SAYS TO DO". And what the servants done? And they TOOK IT. They done what the Lord said without doubt and analysing.

9 When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

Interesting and most amaizing thing that ONLY SERVANTS has seen the Mirracle of Jesus at the wedding. All others they didn't know and they didn't see mirracle of Jesus. Awesome fact!
When we serve people (because the Lord on the earth self served people), when we God's children are SERVANTS and serve people, then we can see mirracles of the Lord.

Another thing how we may know about God's love and His care from this history? The Lord done a mirracle that water turn to wine. I believe that wine that the Lord done was special, because it is done through mirracle. And wine that Jesus done was alcohol free wine, because it was mirracle wine. And when Jesus gives something to people, then He gives all pure, I mean in his blessing will be not something that discourage people. I believe that in the wine that He gave to folk it was not alcohol (mirracle wine).

And look how we can see God's love and His care. If the Lord cares for elementary things like a soda, then how valuable everyone before Him. Even our hairs of our head are all numbered.
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Lk.12:7)
When we take a shower, then we losing few of our hairs of our head and God he exactly knows how many we have lost and how many hairs of our head we have after shower. If our hairs that we losing every day so important for God, then how much valuable a person and his/her life before Him. God bless you...
