Introduction

Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee.  Their wine had run out, and Mary looked to Jesus to fix the situation.  He then changed ordinary water into wine, satisfying the host and his guests.  A wealth of symbolism exists within the narrative of this miracle, and must be understood in order to see the fullness of Christ’s ministry.  The acceptance or rejection of the miracles of Christ has profound consequences for the individual as well as for the entire nation of Israel.
