Christ's First Miracle: He Can Supply Enough
One of my sons in Iraq posted a song on his MySpace by "Angels and Airwaves" called "A Little's Enough". I have listened to it again and again, and finally looked up the lyrics. It is an incredibly powerful song to me about opening up to the Love of God thru Christ. It mentions His first miracle at the wedding of Cana. I wrote a letter to my son about my ponderings brought on by this song... excerpted here below:
"Oh, what his mother must have thought - have known - when her Son performed his first miracle at the wedding of Cana. That even tho' it wasn't yet time for Him to begin His work, at the prayers of His mother He began. He turned the water into wine. And not just a bottle or two. But gallons and gallons of it. Was it because he wanted everyone rip-roaring drunk?
No... I don't think so.
Wine in the Eucharist represents the blood of our Lord. The Old Testament tells us that the blood is Life. This was a wedding, the sacrament of blending - becoming one - and a sanctification of the relationship that moves us even closer to the perfection of God by allowing us the blessing of being creators ourselves. Creators of new life in our children. Our soul meets with the other and a new soul is sparked and created. One that never existed before.
When the Lord asked His mother, "What have I to do with you?" does He ask us all that question? A question that we all must answer, "You must save me, Lord. I have no Life in me without You." And with that we let in that true Life that is His alone to give.
Why did He turn gallons and gallons of water into wine? To show us that He can supply us as much Life as we need. We needn't go without. He CAN supply - He DID supply - thru the Life in His blood ALL we will ever need. All we need do is ask.
I love you. Be blessed.
From she who is blessed to be your mother."
How blessed we are to be the mothers of our children. How blessed that we have a God who has put His hand over ours and allowed us to "create" with him such wonders. |
