Don’t you like going to weddings? They are so much fun! The bride and bridegroom are there and, often, plenty of food. The Lord Jesus was invited to a marriage and He went, along with His disciples. There must have been many people there because, before long, they were all out of wine. What could they do? The mother of Jesus told the servants to do whatever He said. They were told to fill six waterpots with water, and then they served it to the ruler of the feast. What he tasted was not water, but good wine! It was the first miracle the Lord performed.
Sometime afterwards, Jesus went into the temple at Jerusalem and noticed people were buying and selling. From small cords He made a whip and drove them all out. His Father’s house was not to be used for business.
When the Jews asked for a sign, Jesus said what He would do. He said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” He was talking about His resurrection!
Although people saw the miracles that Jesus did, they did not believe in Him in their hearts. He looks right into our hearts and knows if we have received Him as our Savior.
