At a wedding in the town of Cana, Jesus miraculously turned water into wine. But why? Preaching from the Gospel of John, Alistair Begg shows us that every miracle Jesus performed pointed toward the cross. From His response to His mother’s reaction to the miracle itself, Jesus had His coming passion in mind, both for Himself and for humanity as a whole. Jesus’ miracles provide an occasion for faith and for us to believe in His name.
1On hthe third day there was a wedding at iCana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2Jesus also was invited to the wedding with jhis disciples. 3When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4And Jesus said to her, k“Woman, lwhat does this have to do with me? mMy hour has not yet come.” 5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6Now there were six stone water jars there nfor the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty ogallons.1 7Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9When the master of the feast tasted pthe water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested qhis glory. And rhis disciples believed in him.
