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.” Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. (John 2:1-11, NRSV)
6 stone water jars used for purification. So how big were these jars?
They were about 20 gallons each!
That is alotof wine!
And it was not just any wine. It was really good wine.
Jesus helped these people out every when he said it was not time for Him to make himself known. When people are in need Jesus is there to help.
Even when the problem seems small to us, Jesus still helps.
I mean does there need To be more wine really? To us this seems like a small problem. So the party has to come to an end. But this was actually a matter of honor for the family. And if Jesus is there He is probably somehow connected with the family.
So this isn’t actually a small matter but one that could have longstanding impact.
Jesus cares for the small details of our lives.
Know that he cares for you.
