Are you a Roman Catholic? You are? In that case, as I understand it, you think very highly of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Am I right? You treasure her words. If she told you to do something, you would do it, wouldn't you? Am I right? You wouldn't quarrel with what she said? You wouldn't quibble about it? Very well. One day, Mary and Jesus were guests at a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Unfortunately, there was a hitch in the celebrations. But Mary knew that her son, the Lord Jesus Christ, could solve the problem and put matters right. So she said to those concerned: 'Do whatever he tells you' (John 2:5). Excellent advice! What a sensible command. 'Do whatever he tells you'. That is what Mary said. And her words come down the centuries, and come to you now. And you say you think very highly of her, and wouldn't dream of quibbling with anything she told you to do. Well... her command still stands. She says it to you now. Speaking to you about the Lord Jesus Christ, she says: 'Do whatever he tells you'. |
