On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me?

My hour has not yet come.”

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

John 2:1–5

Everyone’s favorite miracle story: water into wine!

What might seem like a frivolous party trick actually has deeper and more important meaning.

Not only were weddings very important gathering for the community (lasting several days) but scripture consistently uses the image of a wedding feast to depict heaven.

Through Jesus, we will have the ultimate celebration, the celebration of the promise of salvation.

The best is yet to come!
