4 “Woman,[l] 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.”
I can't remember if we talked about this last time through this chapter or not....but, I can just picture this playing out. Jesus is talking to his buds, over in the corner. Then Mary comes up and tells him about the wine situation. He gets an indignant look on his face and says, "what do you want me to do about it." Without acknowledging the attitude he just gave her.....Mary goes ahead and tells the servants to do whatever he asks. It makes me laugh. Its such a mother/son relationship playing out here. I can almost hear his grown as she comes to him for help.

was in Australia last week I'll be catching up
ReplyDeleteha its funny that is the same verse that caught my attention and I had the same thoughts, though you have a way of describing it better than I could. Who else in the world could get the Son of Man to do something he didn't plan to do....but his Mom. Like you said she completely ignores him and just knows that he'll take action. ha
ReplyDeletecatching up slowly
