I am sorry for the simplicity of my posts, but I really don't understand the New Testament (hence why I started to read the NT). In John 2, we read that Christ performs his first miracle during his ministry: turning water to wine. Following the miracle, John wrote, "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galili, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him." (v. 11) What is the significance of turning water to wine? Why do you think Christ chose that to be his first miracle? Am I missing something?
I will have to read the passages again, but if I remember correctly Jesus did it for his mother Mary. Mary was hosting some guests and did not have enough wine. Again, I am going off my memory (which has been running on little sleep for too long), but maybe the importance of taking care of our families first has a little to do with it. Hummm. I will have to make this part of my scripture study tonight and get back to you with a better answer.
