John 2:1-11
“Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Woman: The Greek for Woman does not denote any disrespect.
Jesus' first miracle has a homely setting. The wedding festivities normally lasted a week, and when the wine ran out the bridegroom must have been highly embarrassed.
This is the first of seven 'signs' selected by John. All have a purpose - they actively support the claims Jesus made, and are intended to lead to/confirm faith. No lesson is drawn from this story, but the water is generally taken as a symbol of the old religious system in which Jesus transforms.
Why?
Do whatever Jesus tells you is the solution of our life. It looks impossible, but in the Lord, there is anything possible.
Jesus turn the water into wine, this is the first miracle Jesus did, and it bring joy to the people, Jesus bring the blessing to us, and erase our sins is more important than living.

耶穌第一次行神蹟。宴席通常辨好幾天。
耶穌說婦人...馬利亞並沒有生氣，她知道耶穌要做什麼?僕人也需要完全的順服耶穌的吩咐。
耶穌為什麼說： 婦人，我與妳有什麼相干?我與妳中間的關係是什麼?除了母子關係外。本質上是神與人的關係。馬利亞不能要神做事情，因此馬利亞明白了，所以要僕人聽耶穌的吩咐！耶穌要聽的是父神的決定！當我要行神蹟的時候，我們不是母子關係，不允許有人的意思在當中。馬利亞願意順服，人不能插手，人順服後所以神行神蹟的時候到了！水本來要洗腳的，先拿給總管喝，總管也願意喝，我覺得沒有道理的也順服才是真正的順服。傭人不用負責，只要奉命行事。同樣我們確認是神要我們順服時，結果也是神負責！800多公升，顯示神給人的是何等豐盛有餘，而且質也是好的。耶穌所變出來的酒比上好的酒更好，遠超過世界的最好的還要好！無論什麼情形，神要給我們更好的，比我們擁有的更好。人謙卑下來神才會做事情，神蹟才會發生！

Jesus is the Lord, and he brings hope and joy and peace to anyone who follows Him.
