The miracle of water turned into wine is a surprising one. It involved an extravagant amount of the choicest wine to spare the wedding party the embarrassment of running out, but that points to the abundance of God’s Grace for us still today. Jesus’ whole ministry is one of goodness beyond compare, of extravagant mercy beyond what we deserve or even dare ask, and of grace given in ordinary things like words, water, bread, and wine. This, the first of many manifestations of His mercy, reminds us that as we still receive God’s goodness, we see abundant signs of His overflowing love for us.
