+ The wine. 2,000 years ago wine was stored in 4 foot high (1.3 meters) stone, not pottery, vats. In these large stone vats, only wine would be stored. Jesus asked the servants at the Cana wedding to put water in these vats....imagine how shocked the servants would have been!
+ Mary. How much about Jesus' Godliness did she know? How close to God was Mary? Remember that Mary asked Jesus to start his public life by creating more wine. She must have had intimate knowledge of His power. Jesus couldn't deny his mother!
+ Faith. Mary told the servants to do what this man (Jesus) tells them. Remember that Jesus ended up asking the servants to do something unheard of...putting water into the stone wine vats! Isn't this first miracle the foretelling of the Faith we need to just "do what He asks" of us? His is the message carried throughout all of Jesus' public life!
