Tuesday Week 13

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.

Then he told them, "Mow draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."

They did so.

John 2:1-8

I can only imagine what was going on in the servants' minds. Did they know Jesus was about to pull off a miracle? How could they? He'd never done any thing like this before. I am amazed at their willingness to go along with Jesus' instructions.

I guess the question for me is how willing am I to go along with Jesus' instructions? Do I rationalize them away? Re-interpret them the way I see fit? The servants didn't; they obeyed. They filled the water jars to the brim.

I want a to the brim kind of faith in Jesus, too. What does a faith like that look like for you today?
