style="FONT-SIZE: small"><SPAN style="COLOR: black">The Jews attached great
importance to the high moments of life. Thus a wedding was not just a brief
ceremony, but an experience shared by the entire community. The typical wedding
feast could last up to seven days. That sounds strange to our modern way of
thinking, but this offered a bright interlude in an otherwise dreary existence.
The ceremony would begin on Tuesday at midnight. After the wedding the father of
the bride would take his daughter to every house so that everyone might
congratulate her. It was a community experience. Weddings were a time of
joy.<BR><BR>Years ago when Johnny Carson was the host of The Tonight Show he
interviewed an eight year old boy. The young man was asked to appear because he
had rescued two friends in a coalmine outside his hometown in West Virginia. As
Johnny questioned the boy, it became apparent to him and the audience that the
young man was a Christian. So Johnny asked him if he attended Sunday school.
When the boy said he did Johnny inquired, "What are you learning in Sunday
school?" "Last week," came his reply, "our lesson was about when Jesus went to a
wedding and turned water into wine." The audience roared, but Johnny tried to
keep a straight face. Then he said, "And what did you learn from that story?"
The boy squirmed in his chair. It was apparent he hadn't thought about this. But
then he lifted up his face and said, "If you're going to have a wedding, make
sure you invite Jesus!" The little boy was on to something. Weddings are time of
Joy.<BR><BR>At the wedding, which Jesus attended in Cana of Galilee, there was
great joy but a problem developed. There was a shortage of wine. Not only was
that a social embarrassment, it was also a symbol. For a wedding to run out of
wine was an omen that there was little chance of this particular marriage
reaching its full potential, maybe joy was not meant for this couple.<BR><BR>So
Mary approaches Jesus and asks him to do something. His response? "Why do you
involve me woman?" Sounds harsh, so unlike him, and it has long puzzled biblical
scholars...</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

where you put gas in your car? </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small">When you pulled in, someone (or sometimes even more
than one) raced out to greet you, ask what you needed, and proceeded to fill
your gas tank with fuel. While you sat, warm and comfy in your car, the “service
station” attendant washed your windows, checked your oil, even checked your tire
pressure. After filling up the tank they took your payment and wished you well
and waved you off. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small">What is the first thing that comes to mind today when
someone asks if you ever were “in the service?” There used to be two primary
meanings of that phrase “in the service.” The first was military service -- the
“service” given by all those men and women who “served” to defend and protect
our country. That why George Washington asked for no pay for serving as
Commander-in-Chief of Continental forces during the Revolutionary War. He looked
at what he was doing as a “service” to his country, so he refused to accept any
pay. Nor he did submit expenses, which when added up amounted to nearly ten
times what his salary would have been. Before taking office as President, he
again offered to serve without pay if all his expenses were covered. This time
Congress courteously declined. (Sebastian De Grazia, “A Necessary Evil is Also a
Nece ssary Good,” <I>TLS: Times Literary Supplement</I>, 26 May 2000,
12.)</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small">The second association of being “in the service” is now
made bare in a hit television show, now in its third series. Any fans of
“Downton Abbey” out there? What did it mean in the early twentieth century to be
“in the service?”</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small"></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small">Of course, it meant being a “servant” to others. “In
the service” meant a life lived in service to others -- whether that service was
being a butler, a governess, a cook, a maid, a footman, or a working, serving
part of a larger whole, and probably not receiving a whole lot of accolades for
doing what you’re doing. Service has always been part and parcel of being “in
the service”… <SPAN class=216514416-19012013> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

scripture lesson so early in the year which encourages us to ponder a miracle.
You and I need to become more sensitive to the possibility of miracles. Such a
sensitivity will help us recognize present miracles, which we either do not see
or which we take for granted; and it will prepare us to receive still more
miracles. <SPAN class=216514416-19012013> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: small">Walt Whitman felt that "each part and tag" of his own
person was a miracle, and that "a mouse is miracle enough to confound
sextillions of infidels." He reminded us that we are surrounded by the glorious
and the miraculous and do not know it. Science ought to have increased our sense
of awe, as it has unfolded the marvels of the heavens above and mysteries of our
bodies within; but we take the attitude that if we know how far it is to a given
planet, we have, therefore, encompassed all its significance. We need to know
that God is at work in our world. The affairs of this world, and of our
individual lives, often seem to be out of control. At such times we can be
reassured by the knowledge that God has worked wonderfully in days past, and
that he is still at work. <SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: small">A friend of mine is one of the best chefs in the United
States (and has been so acclaimed by people who know what they are talking
about). The celebrity chefs on Food Network notwithstanding, most chefs tend to
be introverts. My friend, too, is certainly a rather shy and retiring person.
He’d rather stay in the background than be center stage with a spotlight shining
on him. But like most chefs, the one thing that brings my friend joy is seeing
others enjoy his food. More than once when eating in his restaurant, I have seen
him standing in the shadows near the kitchen, watching people delight in his
culinary creations, and beaming in happiness at seeing the diners’ enjoyment.
Most will never shake hands with my friend. Most will never bother to seek him
out to say “Thank You” or send a letter of appreciation to the restaurant at
some later point. Nor does my friend str oll through the dining room tacitly and
subtly soliciting praise. He’s mostly content to look upon people’s delight from
afar.<SPAN class=216514416-19012013> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: small">I wonder if God is not accustomed to this as well. At
Cana, Jesus watched people enjoy an outstanding wine whose origin most people
never learned (and maybe would not have believed even had they been told). And
if people did not thank him, it was nothing new. As Augustine first observed —
and as C.S. Lewis later enjoyed pondering — what Jesus did at Cana (as in many
of his miracles) was really no more than a speeded-up version of what he does
every year on a thousand hillsides as vines silently turn water into wine.
Millions of people enjoy that wine every year without for a moment recognizing
the divine origin of it all. It’s a reminder that we serve a God whose effusive
overflow of providential gifts knows no bounds. It’s a reminder that God is also
often content to watch people—sometimes even Christian people who should know
better—from afar as they soak up the goodness of his creative work.<SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: small">Why do we bring Christ into the wedding ceremony?
Because if we would only bring Christ into our marriages, we would have better
marriages! A few years back psychologist Dr. Joyce Brothers was quoted as saying
that for about half of all American couples, marriage is a “quiet hell.” Many
other marriages have degenerated into a “tired friendship,” as someone put it. I
submit to you that this is a tragedy, and in order to prevent such tragedies, we
ought to take the traditional marriage ritual seriously and invite Christ to be
a guest at our weddings, just as He was invited to the wedding at Cana in
Galilee. <SPAN class=216514416-19012013> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

is proclaiming the Good News that Jesus Christ is the Life of every party, that
he is the one who livens things up, brings life abundant for all, even anonymous
brides and bridegrooms in an out-of-the-way peasant village located somewhere
(where, we are not sure) in the Galilee. As William Barclay put it in his
commentary on this passage: “...whenever Jesus comes into our lives there enters
a quality which is like turning water into wine. The trouble with life is that
we get bored with it. Pleasure loses its thrill. There is a vague
dissatisfaction about everything. But when Jesus enters our lives there comes a
new exhilaration!” </SPAN></DIV>
