Evening: Psalm 22: John 2:1-12
It is a mistake to spiritualize Jesus’s miracle at Cana, implying we should not expect remarkable things from him. On the contrary, the miracle is a signpost for the whole of John’s Gospel – somehow, in Jesus, heaven is wedded to earth. Water into wine is ‘the first sign’ of the transformation Jesus brings. The key to experiencing this transformation is to listen to what Mary says to the stewards … “Do whatever he tells you.” Now, there are things Jesus tells us to do that I may not want to do, but nothing that I do not think I should.
