Can you believe that the very first miracle our LORD does is turning water into wine? (John 2) Even with all the terrible needs and hurting people around, that is what Jesus does first.
My Sweetheart was just telling me all the pros and cons of whether or not December 25 was Jesus actual birthday. I'm thinking, "How many years was it before I even celebrated Jesus birthday at all?" We need to learn to celebrate.
And what a celebration it is if Jesus is present! After His mother mentioned that they were out of wine, Jesus took over and directed the preparations. He had the servants fill six - twenty to thirty gallon stone water pots.That is about 150 gallons! Can you see them muttering about all this useless work? After all the meal was about over. But then when they took the "water" to the head water, it must have been quite a shock: "You have kept the good wine until now ."
Folks, we're talking about 900+ bottles of "good" wine. They probably had wine to take home. It is touching to me that Jesus cares about the details of our lives. We can trust Him about "is there enough and will it be good?" But mostly I love how Jesus can teach us to relax and celebrate His love. His love is more than enough!
