BREAKING NEWS! Jesus drank wine! *gasp* This Sunday, we
learned that if you were having a party back in Jesus’ day, and you ran out of
wine, He was the guy you hoped you invited. More importantly though, this is
Gospel passage has two important messages: 1. Do what Jesus says. 2. Jesus does
what His mom says.
In Jesus’ time, weddings used to last a full week. The honeymoon
and wedding were basically the same thing. It takes a lot of wine to last week,
and typically, they didn’t save the best for last. In this case, when they ran
out, Mary went to her Son for a miracle. Like many of us with our own moms, He
told her no. She told the servants to do whatever He said anyway, and He did as
she asked despite saying no originally.
Why do we pray for Mary’s intercession? Because Jesus
listens to His mom.
