Many of Jesus’ miracles had practical consequences beside His exertion of miraculous power. The man born blind to whom Jesus gave sight was expelled from the Temple for thanking Him.
At the wedding feast the head steward sampled unknowingly the miraculous wine, then summoned the bridegroom and criticized him for saving the best wine for when the guests were too inebriated to appreciate its quality.
By the way, how does LDS explain the wedding feast with all its references to the consumption of alcohol? My Biblethumping coworkers said Jesus turned water into grape juice! I countered if drinking wine is so bad, why isn’t it written that Jesus said to His mother, “I will not contribute to an atmosphere of drunkeness at this feast. Let them drink water or I’ll change it into fruit juice for them.”
And now that I think of it, how did Mary His mother know in the first place that her Son had such powers that she had only to say, “Son, they have no wine.”?
How, indeed? Thoughts?
