Questions for reflection on John 2:1-11:
  1. Why is it significant that the six stone water jars were used for Jewish rites of ritual purification?
  2. Why would this miracle (turning water into wine) at this time (at a wedding) be the first of Jesus' "sign"? What does that tell you about Jesus's mission and his people?
  3. Why is Jesus hesitant at first? Have you experienced divine hesitancy? How do we deal with this?
  4. What is Mary's role? How might our role relate to Mary's 
  5. What do you need transformed in your life?
