Re:Verse reading–John 2:1-22 (day five) And Jesus *said to her, “Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.”
Why the harsh words to his mother? Especially since Jesus was going to do what she had asked. It points to a deeper question, “Why does God give us what we ask for?” Is it because we asked? Kind of. More specifically, it is because we asked for the right thing (God’s will). Jesus was clearly stating that God is not like a genie in a bottle- granting us whatever we ask. Do you see the danger? For us? For others? He is protecting (pride/ego) and also teaching (a bigger/better perspective) to look and ask for God’s will. “The Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing.” Does this perspective sound familiar? ‘Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
