The Wedding at Cana

John (2) describes the wedding of Cana.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ attended a wedding feast in Cana with his mother Mary and a few disciples. They ran out of wine at the wedding, which threatened humiliation for the bride and groom. Mary gestured toward Jesus and then told the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." (John 2:3-5)

Nearby were six water-filled stone jars commonly used for ceremonial washing, each holding up to 30 gallons. Jesus instructed the servants to fill the jars with water and then take some to the master of the banquet. Amazed, the master took the bride and groom aside and complimented them. Most couples serve the best wine first, he said, then bring out cheaper wine after the guests would no longer notice the difference. "You have saved the best till now," he told them (John 2:10).

Through this miracle, Jesus was able to demonstrate that he was the Son of God to all of the guests at this large wedding. Nonbelievers look for proof from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ every day, but they miss the signs right before them. Look for Him as you go through your day, and listen for His Word.
