At His Inauguration | Rev. David Pileggi

Christ Church Jerusalem

Attending a wedding at Cana was Jesus' first public event recorded in the Gospel of John. His presence at an ordinary occasion and the miracle of making a huge amount of wine sets the tone for this Gospel – Jesus is more than sufficient for any human need. At this event we get our first glimpse of discipleship. Before any of the Twelve began to believe and follow him, Jesus’ mother emerges as the first disciple and one that we should emulate. Discipleship based on her model of faith and loyalty always points to Jesus, "Do what he says”, and not to Mary herself.
