Why did Jesus turn water into wine?

1. To bless us

On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’s mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. (John 2:1-2 CSB)

When the wine ran out, Jesus’s mother told him, “They don’t have any wine.” (John 2:3 CSB)

“What has this concern of yours to do with me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.” (John 2:4 CSB)

“Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants. (John 2:5 CSB)

2. To care for us

Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained twenty or thirty gallons. “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.” And they did. When the headwaiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.” (John 2:6-10 CSB)

3. To neighbour with us

The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish. (John 1:14 Message)

Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. (John 2:11 CSB)
