/ miracles
Sunday, May 10
“ At the prayer of His mother, He made room in His plans for the thing she desired. It was not His wish then to work a miracle, but if His mother wished it, He would. He did for His mother what for His own part He would rather have left alone. Not always did He do as His mother would have Him; but this was a case in which He could do so, for it would interfere nowise with the will of His Father… . The Son, then, could change His intent and spoil nothing: so, I say, can the Father; for the Son does nothing but what He sees the Father do.
• George MacDonald, considering Jesus’ first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee, when he turned the water into wine. See John 2: 1 – 11.
