John 11., &? Memory Verse, 11 ? Commentary on the Day's Lesson. 1. The marriage in Cana (vs. 1, 2). 1. "The third day.' Front the calling of Philip find Xathanael, or six days from the time John the Baptist had answered the authorities from Jerusalem. It is calculated that Wednesday was the day. il being the usual day for weddings for Jewish maidens. Widows were married on Thursday "A marriage." Including the marriage feast, which was frequently cefcbrated for several days. The family was the first divine institution among ineu, and is the basis of all that has followed. 2. ".Jesus was called." Invited. This was natural, especially* if His mother was a relative. It was according to custom mat a strange wewisn rauui vismn; mere should be invited. "Disciples." The disciples were those already mentioned?Andrew, Simon, John, Philip, Nathannel and probably James. Jesus sanctities true < earthly joy. We need not wonder to tind 1 the Lord of life at that festival, for He 1 came to sanctify all life?its times ot joy and its times of sorrow, and all experience tells us that it is times of gladness which especially need such a sanctifying power. God wants us to be happy. He has given a hundred joys to every sorrow. ! II. The mother of Jesus (vs. S-5). 0. ; "When the wine failed" (R.V.J To Lastem hospitality such a mishap would be very mortifying and would seem almost disgraceful. Tne family no doubt was poor, extra guests had come anil the suj>ply was limited. There has been much discussion as to whether Jesus made wine that would intoxicate. Dr Whedon says: "We see no reason for supposing that the wine of the present occasion was of that kind upon which Scripture places its strongest interdict" (Prov. 20:1; 23:31: Isa. 22:13). No one can prove that it contained intoxi- . eating qualities, and there are *mauy and } strong reasons for believing that it was as 1 pure and harmless as the juice of the grape fresh from the vines. Winebibbers need 'not undertake to fall back on this miracle as an excuse for the gratification of their perverted anpetites. If Jesus were in America to-day we know very well what His attitude would be toward the accursed saloon and toward wine at banquets, and in fact toward the banquets as tlie.v are now carried on. We may be sure that He never encouraged anything which would lead, as our intoxicating liquors do. to ; degradation and ruin. "Mother?saith." Itc. She probably spoke to Him privately. Although Christ had as yet performed no miracle, yet His mother feels sure that He is able to help them in the present emergency. 4. "Woman." This at first sounds harsh 1 to our ears, but it was equivalent to our saying "Lady," and "was a highly respect- ; tul and affectionate mode of address." lie ' does not call her "mother," because it was necessary now, at once anil forever, to show her that He was not Jesus the Son of Man-, but the Christ, the Son of God; , that as regarded His great work and mission. His eternal being, the significance of ! the beautiful relationship had passed away. It could not have been done in a manner more decisive, yet more entirely tender. "What have I to do with thee*" What is there in common between us? He caupot longer work in her way. She does not understand the influences directing His present life. "Mine hour." 'the hour for the manifestation of His glory. Jesus rejects the worldly ambition in Mary's request. She desires a brilliant miracle, as a public , sign of His coming. Jesus penetrates this ambitious thought, and traces a boundary for Mary's desires, which she should no more attempt to cross. But this does not prevent His understanding that along with < this there is something to be done in view of the present difficulty. As soon as ail fleshly claim to hold control over, or gain emolument by. His Messianic power was 1 rejected?as soon as His mother retired to her proper position?then was the last obstacle removed; His area of action imme- i diately opened, and the hour to manifest forth His glory bv miracle had arrived. , 5. "Whatsoever?do it." Punctually observe His orders without asking questions. Her faith in Him had not weakened. The answer shows what she was expecting Him to do. Let tw take her answer as tbe motto of our lives. IIL The miracle wrought (vs. G-ll). 0. "Six waterpote." A large ouantitv of water was'necded at a Jewish banquet because of '"the manner of nin-ifrini- of the 1 Jews"?the hands and feet of the guests t 1fta?t be washed, and "the washing ot 1 cups and jugs and bottles went on the whole day*.'' "Two or three firkins." A ? firkin was about nine gallons, therefore [ these waterpots held between 108 and 162 gallons. 7. "To the brim." "We do not know J that they were entirely empty, but whatever bad been drawn out was ieplaced. 8. "Draw out." The word for draw may be i used in the sense of dip ont. "Unto the i , governor.'* The president of the hanauet. 1 "They bare it." Hera faith was required. '< To put water in the jars required obe- ? dienee. but to draw that water out and i pass it to the chief guest as wine made a strong demand on faith. S. "Knew not." Knew not the miraculous origin of the wine. "Servants? . knew," Tb* independent witness to the * two parts of the miracle establishes .'ts reality. The ruler of the feast declares what l the element k, the servants knew what it 1 was. 10. "Every man." Tnrs i? the com- ? mon enstom among men. "Well drunk." ^ Men who hare had enough are indifferent as to the quality of the wine *ct before them. The ruler of the feast Is nut alluding to the corrupt customs and fashions among men. and not to aught that wa? going on before hk eyes, for such the Lord would hare as little sanctioned by His presence as He would have "helped it forward by a wonder-work of His owo. Sin Srives its best?its pleasures and hapors? irst; its worst?its sorrow, poverty, disgrace and ruin?follow. First harlots and riotous living, then swine. Christ gives first the cross, the raee, the battle; then the crown, rest and glory. ' 11. "Manifested forth His giory." A prophet would manifest the g.ory o? Cod, but l^N^^own glory, for He was God. The miracic^^^^vonders of .Tesus were all signs (1) of nature: (2) of His mission as from ^ His pood will toward men: (41 ot that He taught: (5) of the nature 'all ~r l u.i: J __ riiunu ici uuu. i>;bu.|;ic5 unicvcu uu u Him." Their faith was now confirmed. ' Thev were now sure they had found the Messiah. It was 400 years since the .Tews had seen a prophet who could perform miracles. The guests partook of the wine: the disciples had something far better?an increase of faith. Others simnlv ate and drank These men saw God in Christ manifesting His glory. For His Satanic Majesty.
