JOHN2:1-11On 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."
"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time 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."
This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
DO WHAT JESUS TELLS YOU!obedience is the seed to miracles.
arabian horses: one of the best horses. the horses go through training without water for a very long time. until a point when the horses are really weak, the master will send them towards an oasis. the horses, with their very last bit of strength, will walk towards the oasis in hope for some water. but halfway the master will blow the whistle asking the horses to come back. so this is the point when the master will see which horses are good which are bad. the good ones love their master more than themselves. they will walk back to their masters even though they are really dehydrated and they desperately want to drink water. when they are back, the master will give them a pat on their noses and send them towards the real source of water.
