There’s a never ending reel of embarrassing moments in my wedding career.

  - no matches for the unity candle

  -  Wedding at the local saloon - music on the jukebox

Getting the bartender in trouble for charging me

  - a bride literally being sewn and safety pinned into her dress… only to have it slowly come apart during the ceremony

  - Guns and Roses song by long hair dude

  - A Groomsman passing out - OUT! 

  -  wedding in Kansas in July out in the middle of the wheat field… standing there completely undressed…

THE FIRST MIRACLE

ONLY 5 DISCIPLES AT THIS TIME - AND IT CEMENTED IN THEIR MINDS WHO HE WAS.

John 2 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. 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.”

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

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

11 This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

Water into wine

WINE IN SCRIPTURE:

Wine represents the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from sin. The old wine took work…. works based, the new wine was based on Christ work alone.

It also represents joy! 

They are out of wine?

Could get taken to court

Remembered for not even being able to provide for the

wedding let alone the bride and her future. 

Huge embarrassment for the groom and the couple. 

6 stone pots

most likely a priest or higher up religious leader

The number 6 speaks of man and incompleteness.

The pots are dirty…i.e. sinful

Out of the stone pots a new wine comes out

OUT OF THE STONE COMES A NEW WINE…

So Jesus goes a little overboard…

180 gallons of the best wine - 180? Thats 908 standard-sized bottles of wine. 

They were most likely able to sell this and live off of it for a very long time!
