When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."Marry just expects her son to be able to deal with this, and that he will have the servants do things. Many of Jesus' miracles involve a pattern of people following instructions. It seems Marry is acquainted with this pattern already. If this is Jesus' first public miracle, I can't be the first to think along these lines.
"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
Just a thought that hit me on Sunday. I have no particular significance to attach to it, other than I hadn't thought of it that way before. Oh the random tangents that can occur to me during a sermon.

Do you mean something like "Jesus we're out of bread!" Jesus says a few words and poof, the breadbox is full! Seriously, why not.
Well I could imagine something along the lines of:
A man has unexpected guests arrive in the middle of the night. He goes to his neighbour Joesph for help. While the neighbour talks with Joeseph at the door Marry looks for bread, there is not much in the bread basket. Jesus asks her to check the basket on the right, "Jesus, I did not take that basket to the market"
"Mom, look, please..." Marry checks, the basket is full.
Marry takes the bread to the neighbour at the door, who leaves thankful but unaware of what happended. Marry treasures this event in her hart.

Are you spelling Mary with two r's on purpose? If it happened once I could see it being a mistake, but every time?! Something must be up.
Yes someone else has thought of this: "Thomas" :-)
kris - you read my mind. although, "thomas" saw Jesus a little differently than i do :)
Not Kirs not delibratley, just locked onto the patern as I banged out the idea quickley. People who don't strugle with spelling really have no idea how hard it is for those of us who do.
Yes, the Koran also has a similar story, were Jesus make a bird out of clay.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be an insensitive spell-checker, I was just wondering if there was something to it, because of the repetition.
Sorry Kris, you weren't being insensitive, for most people it was a perfectly reasonable question. I'm just not most people.

Richard: thanks man, I love you too.
I just always assumed that the interesting word renditions that come upon this blog once in awhile were Canadian forms of spelling. :)Oh, the things you learn by reading comments!
Of course, I do know that Neighbour is spelled that way by all of our Neighbors to the North.

Is it possible that from conception Mary knew she was carrying God's offspring and maybe that tipped her off to the possibility of Him pulling off some amazing acts?
Steve, we're dealing with realy big blanks here, so posible yes. However I read a shift in Mary from Jesus asking her and Joseph
"Why were you searching for me?, Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"
But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
To Mary 18 years later, who knows that he will make the wine even though he protests.
Richard: you'll have to explain that over lunch sometime.
