Sermon Tone Analysis

Wedding

2 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.

3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me?

My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”

And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.”

So they took it.

9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine.

But you have kept the good wine until now.”

11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory.

And his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

Wedding Culture

Would have been a disgrace for the groom to run out of wine

Mary may have known the person

Jesus gets invovled although not his direct mission

Jesus saves the groom from shame and doesn’t even know it

Ruler of the Feast is like a wedding planner

Saving the best wine for last.

Generally as the week went on water was added to the wine to make it go further

Water to Wine

Both elements are used

Jars were used for ritually purity they themselves could not make pure.

The blood of Jesus can make you pure
