What Does Jesus’s First Miracle Teach Us?
1. Make sure Jesus is on the invitation list
1. Make sure Jesus is on the invitation list
“To run out of supplies would be a dreadful embarrassment in a ‘shame’ culture; there is some evidence it could also lay the groom open to a lawsuit from aggrieved relatives of the bride.” – D.A. Carson
Wine was a symbol of joy and blessing
2. Do whatever Jesus tells you to do!
3. Jesus makes all things new
"He attends the wedding, participates in the happiness, averts disaster, and then supplies the joy!" – Kent Hughes
Jesus has the power to transform people’s lives.

3. What did Jesus mean by "My hour has not yet come" in verse 4?
