S – “…and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” ¹¹ This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.”

John 2:10–11 ESV

O – Bible Dictionary:
“signs” – 

Mighty works (δυνάμεις). The supernatural works of Christ and his apostles are denoted by six different words in the New Testament, exhibiting these works under different aspects and from different points of view. These will be considered in detail as they occur. Generally, a miracle may be regarded: 1. As a portent or prodigy (τέρας); as Acts 7:36, of the wonders shown by Moses in Egypt. 2. As a sign (σημεῖον), pointing to something beyond itself, a mark of the power or grace of the doer or of his connection with the supernatural world. So Matt. 12:38. 3. As an exhibition of God’s glory (ἔνδοξον), Luke 13:17; glorious things. 4. As a strange thing (παράδοξον), Luke 5:26. 5. As a wonderful thing (θανμάσιον), Matt. 21:15. 6. As a power (δύναμις); so here: a mighty work.

“glory” – dŏxa, glory (as very apparent):— dignity, glory (-ious), honour, praise, worship.

 James Strong, The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1996).

A – Jesus began his ministry with a sign similar to Moses, who turned water into blood.  Jesus turned it into wine (could be symbolism of the new covenant he was ushering in.). It “manifested his glory” and the disciples believed.  It wasn’t his time, his idea, for his own benefit and it wasn’t made as a spectacle to draw attention to himself.  Yet, in the quiet of a couple words, he changed the entire situation and those close to him took a step closer in belief.  That is what he can do for us in our disbelief or need of a reminder of who He is.

R – Heavenly Father, you are glorious and worthy of our faith and honor.  We recognize our own disbelief can challenge this in you.  Empower us to grow in our faith and trust so we don’t put limitations on you.  We give you all honor and glory.
