The Wedding Background Story
The Distressing Problem
“3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities…”
The Mom Moment
The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” 5 But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Jesus’ response:
4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”

God’s timing, contingency and consequence
Jesus is God in flesh, totally God and perfectly human, and is operating as the Son to do the will of the Father, he is exercising divine self-limitation in some ways: self-limiting his glory self-limiting his knowledge = Jesus provides the perfectly obedient human to become the perfect atonement for human sin.

The Best Wine Miracle
“Jesus told the servants,“Fill the jars with water.”When the jars had been filled,he said,“Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.”…9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine…he called the bridegroom over. “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
