In some respects, it seems like Jesus’ first miracle is underwhelming. He’s turning one beverage into another. So what, we might say. But this isn’t squirting some flavoring into your bottled water. This man, who walked and talked like the rest of us, is revealing a glory such that it evoked the fear, love, and trust of the disciples. They “believed in him” (John 2:11). While it’s true that some creatures or things have a glory unto themselves, like the brilliance of the sun or king dressed in all his splendor, Jesus’ glory is found nowhere else in creation. Even this seemingly humble miracle shows that this man has the forces of creation at his fingertips. In this man we find God himself at work.
