Wedding in Cana

DAY 4 OF 4

The missed miracle 

Imagine you pray for a miracle to happen or a solution from God. What do you expect? A lot of people expect to see something spectacular. A lot of people have followed Jesus hoping to experience something extraordinary. ‘Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.’ (John 6:2). 

A spectacular Christianity is what more people would like. A show! Theatre! Attention! A lot of people would like to experience this sort of miracle—to see it and experience it for themselves. But this first miracle of Jesus was quite invisible but the outcome of the miracle was visible. ‘When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning set out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!’ (John 2:9-10)

The servants have lugged loads of water (maybe about 600 litres) and in the end, a delicious and heavenly wine was served. People had seen and tasted that wine and they were astonished at the exceptional quality. What happened exactly, no one knows. No one witnessed the supreme moment. Is it not often like this? Many people are waiting for something spectacular, a miracle they can see. The real miracle is the result—enough wine for everyone. And the wine is perfect. The party is saved. What exactly was the real miracle? That enormous pots filled with water turned in wine? Or perhaps the fact that Jesus saved the party of a young couple? Undoubtedly, there were people who did not notice at all what was going on and without knowing, just enjoyed a delicious wine with a perfect aftertaste.

Jesus performed his first miracle and his new group of friends believed in Him. Because of the miracle with the wine, they saw something bigger than what their eye was able to see. A splendid new story of Creation is written! Everything is going to be new.
