The Miracle of Cana
Jesus performed His first miracle at Cana in Galilee by changing the water into wine. What He is really doing is talking to each one of us personally about the shortages in our own lives. Could it be true that after a few years of marriage, gone are our dreams?
We run short of patience, we run short of understanding. We run short of communication, we even run short of love. John is telling us that we need to be refreshed, to let Christ touch the water of our lives.
Christ came on earth to change people and to make all things new. He came to change us just as He changed water into wine. His presence among us is an invitation to change our ways and a call to a new manner of life.
A few weeks ago we welcomed in a New Year which speaks of new beginnings and a fresh start. If we really want to change our lives we have got to turn to Christ and call on His help. Wherever Jesus is found, life is always changed for the better.
The joy and happiness Jesus brought into the lives of the newlyweds at Cana by His presence is ours for the asking provided we follow the simple instruction given by Mary. “Do whatever He tells you”.
Our big mistake in life is that when we run short, we forget to turn to Jesus for fresh supplies of what we need. It is only when we go to Him with open hearts that He can touch us and make certain that the wine of Love and Joy will always be part of our lives.
Lord Jesus, help us to turn to You in times of difficulty and place our trust in your Goodness and love.
