John 2:1–5: On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”


Here she is asking Him to do something that will demonstrate who He is to clear her name. He tells her that He is going to do just that—He will clear her name—but that the hour has not yet come. That hour did come! His resurrection proves who He is. And don’t forget that the Resurrection proves the virgin birth of Christ. We tend to look at the virgin birth at Christmas time as an isolated fact. It is connected with His resurrection, friend, because He is who He claimed to be. 1

Your Word is Truth

One thing that Jesus asked us to do is to love others. But never from manipulation, or out of guilt, or because of pressure. A Godly love is a love from God, with no strings attached. That’s the love to give, and that’s the love to receive.

We love Him because He first loved us. –1 John 4:19

You Alone are God

If we would do whatever He asked, there would be peace in our hearts. – TWEET IT

Your Will be Done

Lord, thank You for all Your sacrifices for me. You love me, unconditionally.
