1 John 5:14-21 / John 2:1-11
It is said that miracles always happen when you believe.
So the miracle in the gospel, when water is changed into wine, seems that it could only be a real event when we believe in the power of Jesus.
Some other contentions to it in order to explain away miraculous dimension is that the neighbours came to the aid to the wedding couple by bringing wine from their home or that there happen to come about a new supply of wine.
But when we look at it and think deeper about it, the miracle is indeed the work of nature and the work of the supernatural.
Wine came from grapes which are grown in vineyards. The vines draw water from the ground in order to grow and produce grapes.
To put it simply, the water is eventually turned into wine by the work of nature and the work of man.
To put it simply again, the miracle of the water turning into wine is hastened by the work of the divine, the work of Jesus.
Indeed, miracles always happen when we believe. Miracles happen when we believe that God became man and gave Himself to us in the Eucharist.
Let us not wait for a miracle to happen. Jesus sends us to be a miracle for others so that their watery lives will be changed to sweet wine.
