Jesus performs his first miracle at a wedding in Cana by turning water into wine when the host runs out of wine. Mary, Jesus' mother, tells Jesus they have no more wine. Although Jesus says his time has not yet come, he has the servants fill large stone jars with water. He then tells them to draw some out and take it to the master of ceremonies. When the master tastes it, not knowing its origin, he remarks to the bridegroom that he has saved the best wine for last. This miracle in Cana reveals Jesus' glory and causes his disciples to believe in him.

1. WATER TURNED
TO WINE
JOHN 2:1-12
Jesus is
the Source of Life

2. John 2:1-3
• 1 On the third day there was a wedding
at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of
Jesus was there.
• 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding
with his disciples.
• 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of
Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

3. John 2:4-6
• 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what
does this have to do with me? My hour
has not yet come.”
• 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do
whatever he tells you.”
• 6 Now there were six stone water jars
there for the Jewish rites of purification,
each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

4. John 2:7-9
• 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with
water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
• 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out
and take it to the master of the feast.” So they
took it.
• 9 When the master of the feast tasted the
water now become wine, and did not know
where it came from (though the servants who
had drawn the water knew), the master of the
feast called the bridegroom

5. John 2:10-12
• 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good
wine first, and when people have drunk freely,
then the poor wine. But you have kept the good
wine until now.”
• 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in
Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his
disciples believed in him.
• 12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with
his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and
they stayed there for a few days.

6. Review
• Jesus provides for our
thirst.
• Jesus produces only the
best.
• Jesus fulfills the law and
brings new life.

7. Invitation
• Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to
keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty
before God. For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the
law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. But now God has
shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of
the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago.
We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is
true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has
sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved
kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus
when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as
the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that
Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was
being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times
past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this
present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is
fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe
in Jesus. Romans 3:19-26
