We have now gotten up to Chapter 15 in our Bible study on the Gospel of John, and everyone including me are amazed at how rich and profound this book is in theology, writing and understanding of the human condition. How strange then that John’s first recorded miracle of Jesus-also today’s assigned reading, is when he turns water into wine at a wedding party. We might expect healing a sick person, forgiving sins, or exorcizing a demon. Instead, Jesus makes tons of excellent wine, about one hundred fifty gallons, so that a party lasts longer. Is this not below the pay grade of the Messiah and even perhaps inappropriate?
