The first miracle of Christ a Cana shows the importance of a couple of things to me.

First, the importance of weddings and marriage and family.

Second, the importance of intercession — remember it was Christ’s mother who said to him, “They have no wine.” After his reply, she then utters her last words in the Bible: “Do whatever he tells you.”

Mary’s first intercession to our Lord Jesus Christ!

My teetotalling coworkers would have preferred for Him to reply, “Mother, there is already too much drunkenness at this feast, and I will not contribute to the guests’ further inebriation!”

(How did Mary His mother know of Jesus’ miraculous powers?)

Yep, it's different (I love it). Daniel Mitsui is one of my favorite artists working today. He specializes in marrying his Japanese heritage with his Christian faith. He also does lovely medieval-style drawings.
