“This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.” – John 2:11
The faith of His followers is precious to Jesus! Your faith is precious to Jesus! At a wedding in small-town Cana, Jesus performed an incredible miracle for a tiny audience. He rearranged protons, electrons, neutrons, atoms, and molecules to transform water into wine. In converting a simple blend of hydrogen and oxygen into a complex mix of many different elements, Jesus revealed that He is the creator and sustainer of all matter in the universe. He is God come to earth in the flesh. And only a handful of His first followers saw it!
Jesus didn’t publicize this miracle to the whole crowd. Nobody other than His mother and first clueless followers had any idea that one of the most incredible miracles imaginable had just taken place. This miracle was for building the faith of a few. What does that say about how important the faith of His followers is to Jesus?!? Jesus treasures our faith and delights in doing nearly invisible miracles to strengthen it.
If you’re a believer in Jesus, then He treasures your faith. Your faith is precious to the King of Kings! Jesus delights that you have embraced Him and been adopted into His family. Has Jesus done any small, nearly invisible miracles to build your faith? Think about that for a moment. If Jesus has done a work of miraculous faith-building for your blessing and benefit, meditate on that for while and give thanks to Jesus. Consider sharing your “Cana story” with someone else who needs to believe in Jesus or have their faith strengthened. #FollowJesus
