God likes to take the ordinary and do the extraordinary. This week Pastor Stephanie shares one example of this: the Wedding at Cana. When the wedding celebration ran out of wine for their guests it was a social faux pas, but not the end of the world. Mary asks Jesus to help his friend avoid the embarrassment of ending the party early. Jesus at first says it’s no concern of his. When the servants listen for instruction, Jesus tells them to do something mundane and ordinary: fill jars with water. When the steward draws from the jars it is an extraordinary wine that he assumes has been stashed away by the bridegroom not miraculously transformed from ordinary water. Jesus uses plain old water and the efforts or some ordinary servants to allow the celebration to continue with his friends. It was the first miracle that is recorded in the Gospels but Jesus didn’t use it to reveal his power to the crowd, only Mary, the disciples, and the servants knew the true source of that extraordinary wine. Pastor Stephanie then reminds us that God is doing extraordinary things with our ordinary efforts every day. So what extraordinary thing will come about from your ordinary self when placed in God’s hand?
