Messiah page 5 by ric gustafson
Mary walked toward some large stone jars. Reluctantly, Jesus followed behind her. Jesus noticed that the crowd was tired, hungry and thirsty. Jesus did not want anyone to be embarassed, disappointed or hurt.
When Mary stopped at the jars, several servants were standing beside them.
Mary pointed at her son. " Do whatever he tells you".
Jesus covered his face. He prayed in silence. Then he opened his eyes. He smiled. " Go to the cistern". Jesus smiled. " Fill the jars".
Jesus and Mary waited as the servants filled the jars to the brim.
" Now draw the wine from the jars". Jesus grinned. " Take it to the steward to be tested". Jesus smiled again. " Then serve it to the guests".
The servants replenished the pitchers, mugs and glasses.
The guests began to drink.
" Why did you make us think you were running out of wine?". Lydia's father smiled. He took another sip from his mug. " You have saved the best until the last".
