Have you ever wondered how Jesus’ first miracle reveals both His divine power and His care for everyday human situations? In this Bible study, we’ll explore the wedding at Cana, where Jesus transformed not just water into wine, but a potential social disaster into a moment of glory. This intimate look at Jesus’ first recorded miracle in John’s Gospel shows us important lessons about obedience, faith, and God’s provision.

And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” John 2:4

• The wedding took place in Cana of Galilee, a village near Nazareth and Capernaum
• Jewish weddings were evening ceremonies and major community events
• The miracle demonstrated Jesus’ glory and strengthened His disciples’ faith
• The absence of Joseph suggests he had passed away by this time

His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” John 2:5

This wonderful account shows us that Jesus cares about every aspect of our lives - even the seemingly mundane problems we face. Just as He turned water into the finest wine, He can transform our ordinary circumstances into extraordinary testimonies of His glory. The key lesson we learn is captured in Mary’s simple but profound instruction: “Whatever He says to you, do it.” And remember, as the study points out, Jesus still performs miracles today, with the greatest being the miracle of new birth in every believer’s life. The best is truly yet to come with Him!
