His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” John 2:5
Mom knows. Without the rest of the story, we are left with a number of guesses as to what our verse for today tells us. From our Bible studies though, we know that this is Mother Mary telling the servants to do whatever Jesus says to do at the wedding in Cana where Jesus would soon perform His first miracle. It is a simple instruction to servants. And as we from other teachings of our Lord Jesus want to become servants, it seems that simple instructions are good for us as well. "Whatever He says to you, do it." And that is where the battle with our first birth begins as our sinful flesh immediately rebels, gripes, grumbles, and complains against following our Lord's simple instructions.
Praise God that Jesus His Son can overcome us too!
