The fruit of the vine was a type of the
blood Jesus was going to shed for us on
the cross.

Although "His hour had not come", He
did give this miracle as a kind of His
redemption.

Being at the wedding shows us that we
can be joyful. But it must be done in
context with God's holiness and right-
eousness.

This miracle showed the nature of
Jesus' ministry which would be a
work of transformation, blessings,
and of the supernatural.

Jesus was not against joy. pleasure
and laughter. He wanted to share in
them and their problems and sorrows
to give them victory over sin.
