Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine. The fact that the miracle was performed at a wedding is significant. By His attendance, Jesus placed His stamp of approval on the marriage covenant, and with His miracle He showed from whence the blessings in a marriage spring. The love and joy inherent in a wedding ceremony are also characteristic of the ministry of Christ, who came into this world because of love (John 3:16) and brings joy to all who believe (Luke 2:10).
