Americans spend over $30 billion annually on Mother’s Day.

That’s more than Valentine’s Day and Halloween!

More long distance calls made on Mother’s Day than any other day.

More collect calls made on Father’s Day than any other day.

John 19:26-27 “When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, ‘Woman, behold your son!’  Then He said to the disciple, ‘Behold your mother!’ And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.”

John 2:1-11 (NIV) “On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’ ‘Woman, why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied. ‘My hour has not yet come.’

His mother said to the servants,  ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’ They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.

He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, ‘Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.’ What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.”

180 Gallons of the best wine.

The most expensive wine ever sold is the 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti which sold for $558,000 at an auction in 2018.

1000 bottles of the best wine.

$15,000 per bottle.

1000 x $15,000= $15,000,000

Amos 9:13 “‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it.’”

John 10:10 “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

1 Timothy 6:17 “Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.”

Jesus delights in being ASKED.

Jesus takes deficits and turns them into ABUNDANCE.

Jesus takes a circumstance that could have brought shame and turns it into JOY!

Jesus takes servants and turns them into MIRACLE WORKERS.

Jesus takes the powerless, broken religion of outer washing and turns it into the FREEDOM of internal cleansing and healing.

The miracle is in the pouring out.

The water turns to wine somewhere in the doing.

Six times thirty is a 180!

Galatians 6:9 “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”

Where did you get this?     It all points to Jesus. SIGN!

Do you see Jesus delight as they all experienced what God can do.
