The First Sign
The First Sign
Under the best of circumstances, weddings can be accidents waiting to happen. Though most times minor, something nearly always goes wrong at a service of Holy Matrimony. And in this week’s Gospel reading, something’s going seriously sideways at a wedding in Cana. It was the mother of all wedding faux pas.
In a culture where a couple celebrated their marriage not with a honeymoon but with a seven-day wedding feast, it was unthinkable to run out of wine before running out of party. But this one did.
And though initially seeming reluctant, it became an opportunity for Jesus to provide a sign—the first of seven in the Gospel of John—of God’s abundant transforming grace.
See you Sunday.
