Today’s Message is entitled, “Guess Who Came to the Wedding?” This is the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry, having called his first few disciples, He moves forward on the plan that God had commissioned Him to fulfill.

Even in this first event, he mentions His mission, His hour, the goal of His life, which was “to give Himself as a ransom for the many,” This will be the event that changes millions of lives, His Death on the Cross.

V1 also speaks of the Third day, this small detail that John writes speaks of the day of Jesus’ Resurrection, which was a required endorsement by God of His approval of His Son’s death on the cross and what it was to accomplish. 

Yes, this first miracle at Cana, contains much about the future and provides an endorsement of Marriage. The Savior chose to attend a humble wedding in a small Galilean village. He did not have to go. He could have spent that time teaching and  healing elsewhere at larger venues. But He went to a wedding feast.  — and by His presence, He set His seal of approval on the institution of marriage.

John 2:10 says that You have saved the best until now, a proclamation that continues the story that John the Baptist stated in John 1, Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world. Jesus’ sacrifice was that which was saved until now. Until the time that God had deemed for His son to go and reconcile the world.

In this passage we will see much symbolism and be thankful for this “special Guest at the Wedding.”
