Read John 2:1-12
What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?
Why do you think Jesus answered His mother how He did (John 2:4), but then helped her anyways?
Why do you think this was chosen as Jesus’ first miracle? What does this tell you about the compassion of Jesus, and how He views “minor” things?
If this was the debut miracle, why didn’t Jesus make this more of a “show”/production? Why do you think He did this so “quietly”?
