First Miracle of Jesus at Cana

The first miracle of Jesus at Cana was turning water into wine. It is interesting that the quality of wine Jesus supplied was superior to anything that had been served to that point in the celebration The quality of the wine stunned the host. He took the bride and groom aside and complimented them. Most couples served the best wine first, he said, then brought out cheaper wine after the guests had too much to drink and would not notice. "You have saved the best till now," he told them. (John 2:10)

While it may seem insignificant, there is crucial symbolism in this first miracle of Jesus at Cana. It was not a coincidence that the water Jesus transformed came from stone jars used for ceremonial washing. The water signified the Jewish system of purification, and Jesus replaced it with pure wine. According to many scholars, this wine represented the spotless blood of Jesus that would later wash away our sins.

Also, Jesus’ creation of wine may be significant, prophetically. The Prophet Jeremiah had foretold that in the Messianic age “they will rejoice in the bounty of the LORD—the grain, the new wine . . .” (Jeremiah 31:12). The Prophet Amos said that Israel “will plant vineyards and drink their wine” (Amos 9:14). The association of the Messiah with a time of plenty—including freely flowing wine—might make the first miracle of Jesus at Cana all the more meaningful to the Jewish audience.

Why was The BEGINNING of Miracles,
CHANGED to being the FIRST Miracle?

But there are many things you can get out of what Jesus said and did. Let the Holy Spirit lead you. I want to bring to light Mother Mary. Jesus response to His mother after she told Him about the wine ...was essentially a "no". But she, for whatever reason did not take it as a "no" but a "yes" and got that blessing. So I think there will be situations in life when we ask God for a thing....and it may look like a "no" and we gotta "faith" and "work" a yes thru belief. And if you consider another incident when a gentile woman came to Jesus and ask Him to heal her daughter and His response was, "It is not good to give the children's food to the dogs". And the gentile woman responded, " Even the dogs will eat the crumbs that fall from their tables." Jesus healed her daughter. This exchange taught me that she did not get offended when an offensive thing was said to her. She went after what she asked for. And He blessed her.

The water into wine... could also mean water (baptism) and the shedding of the blood of Jesus.
