Mary's Words

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it . . . Jesus/Y'hshuwah saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.  And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.  When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,  And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.  This beginning of miracles did Jesus/Y'hshuwah in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.   John 2:5, 7-11

Throughout much of Christendom, Mary, the mother of Messiah gets a great deal of prominence.  The reality is, there are very few passages containing the words of Mary.  She had a brief conversation with the angel that informed her of her pregnancy with the Messiah.  There is the record of a very brief conversation with her cousin Elizabeth, as they both rejoice in their pregnancies.  Elizabeth with John the Baptist, and Mary with Messiah.

By only the second chapter of John, we come to the first miracle recorded, and one of the most famous.  Messiah was in attendance of a wedding feast just before Passover, when the wine supply was depleted before the celebration had properly ended.

In one simple statement, Mary established the foundation for living by faith and getting results.  "Whatever he says, DO IT!"
