HIDDEN WORKS

John 2:9-10

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”

Personal Challenge

One of the messages in this passage is about how we should do our works for God in such a way as to bring no attention to ourselves. Jesus performed His first public miracle at this wedding and made sure that the minimal number of people knew about it. He was not interested in having the spotlight focused on Him. His mother asked Him to do something and He did it without fanfare. We are to do the same. We are called to do His work, and to do it willingly and without attracting attention to ourselves so that we become prideful. Glory be to God!
