The Wedding

There are two significant things that cross paths in our reading from John today. The first is that our Lord Jesus exhibits an absolute mastery over physical reality, such that without any act other than simply giving a few orders to some of the servants, He is able to transmute, change water into wine. And not just wine, but good wine beyond the norm and expectation of those at the party. And, speaking of parties, this is the second thing that our reading brings to light: our Lord loves marriage and all the things that go with it.
