A Catering Disaster

What if you went into the post office and behind the counter, selling you postage stamps, was the President? You would probably wonder if there aren't more pressing issues for him to deal with. I mean, sure, mail is a government responsibility, but the President of the United States has bigger fish to fry. It would be like calling Microsoft because you're having problems updating your computer and you get Bill Gates on the phone—half the time I can't even get a human being, much less a CEO.

Today, we see Jesus handling some things we might consider outside His job description: the King of Kings is going to deal with a catering disaster. The Jews had been waiting for the Messiah for 4,000 years, since a promise given in the Garden of Eden. Finally He's here and there's no time to lose—only 3.5 years until He will be crucified. You might think He should be engaged in a fierce battle with Satan, or overthrowing the Roman Empire, yet here we find Him picking up the pieces from a poorly planned party. Time is money—He's on a mission to save mankind! So why does He take the time to go to a wedding? 

Because He was invited.

Through this household miracle, Jesus showed His willingness to be a part of everyday life, not just emergency situations. Here we see Him perform his first miracle at a wedding and (spoiler alert) in a few chapters we'll see Him at a funeral. From altar to grave and everything in between, God is involved in our entire life. He cares about our little things. There's no miracle too big, or too small. Jesus is always willing. Remember that He wants to be a part of your life and invite Him into every moment.

Remember: Jesus wants to be part of your everyday life, not just emergency situations.
