So he came again to
Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine.
--- Genesis 4:46 (RSV)
I didn’t realize that Jesus did two miracles in the town called Cana.
The
first was done at a wedding, where the wine had run out. People felt
more comfortable telling Mary the need rather than going directly to
Jesus. Her response: “Do whatever he tells you.” The result was water being turned into fine wine.
Jesus had become known for that wedding wine phenomenon. Thus when a nobleman,
whose son was dying, needed a miracle, he turned to Jesus. Hearing that Jesus was in the area he went directly to him, begging Jesus to heal his son. Jesus didn’t
even need to be on site. His
response: “Go your way. Your son lives.”
Two needs. Two responses. In both cases, a miracle resulted.
Lord, help me to do whatever you tell me, and
help me to take my needs to you, knowing that you can heal in a moment.
