Today's Bible reading is the 2nd chapter of the Book of John. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+2&version=NASB

In what John's Gospel calls His first miracle, today's chapter includes the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. Whether or not He attended other weddings is an interesting thought but I suppose insignificant in the bigger picture. But at this wedding, the bridegroom was quite fortunate to have had Jesus included on the list of invited guests. Lacking wine at some point in the celebration, Jesus would miraculously turn six waterpots filled with water "to the brim" into wine. The text tells us that each waterpot held between twenty and thirty gallons each. In a moment in time Jesus had made between one hundred and twenty and one hundred and eighty gallons of wine! And the text tells us the wine was distinguished by the "headwaiter" to be "good wine". He certainly does "all things well".

In this chapter of John's Gospel we also see an example of a truth that John would later write of in chapter 14. Recording the words of Jesus, John would write, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." In this chapter, speaking to the Jews, Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews had thought He was talking about the temple building that had taken forty-six years to build but He was speaking of "the temple of His body". The text then tells us that after Jesus had been raised from the dead His disciples remembered that Jesus had said this about "the temple", "and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken." The Helper, the Holy Spirit had indeed brought this saying to their remembrance and had taught them its meaning. Praise God for Jesus' request and the Father's gift of the Helper! He continues to bring us to remembrance and continues to teach us "all things".
