Jesus Changes Water Into Wine

2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, 9 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 10 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.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

First, Thank You.

Second, the "Let's tell him what he wants to hear" brings to mind John kennedy and the "Missles of October".

As you may be aware, the Bay of Pigs incident happened in large part because the Joint Chiefs were telling Kennedy what they thought he wanted to hear.

Then, when the Cuban Missle Crisis was developing, Kennedy insisted they speak franky and openly and NOT just tell him what they thought he wanted to hear.

In many peoples opinion, this helped prevent an all out war with missles flying.

I wish all leaders, no matter what their role, acted more like that. I think we'd make better decisions more times than not.
