John 1-3

I wonder how long it took the servants in Cana to fill those six water jars? I wonder what Jesus did while the servants were fetching the water. I picture in my mind one servant topping off the last jar with WATER, wiping his brow and then scanning the crowd for the man Mary told him to obey. Then we worked his way through the crowd to Jesus' spot. He touched Jesus' foot, to get his attention. Jesus stopped what he was saying and gave the servant his full attention. "The jars have been filled with water, sir. What should we do now?" Jesus' answer surely took the servant by surprise, "Draw some of the WATER out and take it to the master of the feast." Did the servant ask why? Did he think to himself, "Why?" They knew a host with a taste for wine would not be satisfied with water. The servants had obeyed in a difficult task but had seen no promise fulfilled. Now Jesus told the servant to expose himself to failure. I believe the water was water after they filled the six jars. I believe that the water was water when the cup was filled to be taken to the master of the feast. Every step that the servant took caused the water in the cup to ripple. I believe the cup was full of water until it left the servant's hands. He had acted in total trust of Jesus command. When he had completed Jesus' command the miracle was completed as well. Then not only was the cup full of water so were the six jars.
