S – Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
John 2:11 CSB
O – Commentary:
The significance of the miracle was explained by John as a manifestation of Christ’s glory. In contrast with the ministry of Moses who turned water into blood as a sign of God’s judgment (Ex. 7:14–24), Jesus brings joy. His first miracle was a gracious indication of the joy which He provides by the Spirit. The sign points to Jesus as the Word in the flesh, who is the mighty Creator… The first miracle—a transformation—pointed to the kind of transforming ministry Jesus would have (cf. 2 Cor. 5:17). The disciples put their faith in Him. This initial faith would be tested and developed by a progressive revelation of Jesus, the Logos. At this point they did not understand His death and resurrection (John 20:8–9) but they did know His power.
“John,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures
A – God does things that reveal his glory. Some are miracles that are amazing – healing a medical condition, providing something unexpected, or supernatural displays of his power. He also reveals his glory in things that mean something to us – nature, environments, or creation. It is revealed in the heart of the beholder – God knows our hearts and reveals himself in a way that we will look to Him and glorify his presence.
R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you today. Your glory is all around us and yet it personal to us. Thank you for revealing yourself to us in ways that bring meaning and reverence to us. We glorify you alone today.
