The first recorded miracle of Jesus is turning water to wine. That ceremony was very interesting. Mary, mother of Jesus, alerted Him to the fact that the wine was out. He turned to her and said,” Woman, what has this to do with me?” “My hour has not yet come.”
Mary turned to the servants (obviously, she ignored her son, the Christ) and said, "Whatever HE tells you, do it".
In Christ's reply to his mother there was no disrespect. He used the same word when speaking to her with affection from the cross. His hour is come when we know not what to do. Delays of mercy are not denials of prayer. Those that expect Christ's favors, must observe his orders with ready obedience. The way of duty is the way to mercy; and Christ's methods must not be objected against. The beginning of Moses' miracles was turning water into blood, Ex 7:20; the beginning of Christ's miracles was turning water into wine; which may remind us of the difference between the law of Moses and the gospel of Christ. He showed that he improves creature-comforts to all true believers, and make them comforts indeed.
Whatever HE tells you, do it
