Find out how this story relates to you.
What’s with the jars?
Remember the story of the wedding feast in John where they were running out of wine and Yeshua’s mother Mary asked Him to fix the problem? Let’s read it…
John 2
Yeshua told them, “Fill the jars with water,” and they filled them to the brim. He said, “Now draw some out, and take it to the man in charge of the banquet”, and they took it. The man in charge tasted the water; it had now turned into wine! He did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. So he called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone else serves the good wine first and the poorer wine after people have drunk freely. But you have kept the good wine until now!”
The story seems pretty straightforward, Yeshua turned water into wine, right? I want to offer up the thought that if you park there for a bit and study the story, YHWH will show you more. When I did that, He showed me more. What I discovered, it’s symbolic of our lives.
Consider this: His word is the water, the water that turned to wine is the transformation inside of us, the Spirit in us. We are the jars.
Why did Jesus turn water into wine?
Followers of Yeshua believe that He turned water into wine as his first miracle. Wine is a symbol of God’s joy and abundance of blessings, so this act was a way of bringing those things into the world. This miracle teaches us that Yeshua came to bring us life in its fullness. When we are feeling depleted or lacking, we can remember that Yeshua is our source of strength and strength.
Yeshua turned water into wine because He is the son of God and has the power to do so
Yeshua’s ability to turn water into wine serves as a beautiful reminder of God’s goodness and power. No one is too far gone when we invite God in and trust in Him. John 2:11 says “Yeshua did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.” Yeshua performed this miracle as an act of love to those at the wedding banquet and ever since He has continued to pour out his love on all who believe in Him. No matter what obstacle you’re facing, turn your eyes to Yeshua because He alone has the power to change everything. With faith, anything is possible!
This miracle was a sign of his divinity and showed his followers that He was sent from God
In this miraculous act, Yeshua demonstrated his divinity and showed His followers that He was sent from God. He was proclaiming that He was the chosen one and that this special moment of power should give hope to those who follow Him. Being filled with the Spirit of God allows believers to overcome all darkness and doubt, ensuring that they are surrounded by His joyous light. So today let us reflect upon this miracle as a reminder of Yeshua’s unwavering power, trust in His plan, and have faith in the fact that He will be with us every step of the way on our life’s journey.
Yeshua performed this miracle at a wedding, which is symbolic of the miracle of Him returning for His bride in the end times.
According to scripture, Yeshua performed His first recorded miracle at a wedding in Cana. This miraculous event is often thought of as symbolic of the union between the Messiah and His bride—the Church—in the Last Days, also promised according to scripture. As believers, we embrace that this greater miracle will occur one day, when our faithful Lord will come to unify us forever with himself in perfect love and grace. Until that time, let us be humbled and encouraged by the reminder of marriage between God and His people: just like Yeshua blessed those at the wedding in Cana, He desires to bless us now each and every day.
The water and the wine represents Yeshua being our living water and the blood that covers us
His blood was shed for us so that we could be clean and covered in His abundant loving grace. His love for us is unfathomable, it is deeper than the depths of the sea and higher than any mountain could be. We are reminded of His great love when we remember His sacrifice on the cross; when they pierced His side, water ran out to show us He was our living water. His death saved us from our sinful nature and allowed Yeshua’s death to become the payment for our sin debt. Let us never forget how His death set us free from bondage, because He loved us so much. His blood covers each and every one of us and that should always give us hope and courage through whatever we journey through in life.
This miracle is a reminder of Yeshua’s love for us and how He provides for our needs
This miraculous event serves as a wonderful reminder of Yeshua’s unconditional love for us. A concrete demonstration of His provision and His faithfulness shows us that nothing is impossible with God, and that He always provides in our time of need. We serve an all-powerful God who is full of mercy, grace, and hope. Let us not forget that no matter what our current situation may be, His faithful hand will provide whatever we are lacking if we place our trust in Him. Let us remain confident in the truth that when we humble ourselves before the Lord and cry out to Him in desperation, He will hear our cries and fill the empty spaces in our hearts with hope, joy and peace.
Will you allow this miracle to be a sign in your life as well? As we turn our heart back to the Father and drink deeply of His living water, may we also remember that He is madly in love with us. And just as Yeshua provided more than enough wine for the wedding celebration, He has also given us more than enough grace. So let us study His Word and celebrate His promises, knowing that one day He will come again for His bride!

2 Corinthians 4
But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God and not from us.
