Read John 2:1-11 with your family.

One of the stories everyone knows, whether they are familiar with the Bible or not, is Jesus turning water into wine.

What a lot of people don’t talk about, however, is how that story showed Jesus being unsure of himself and his mother, Mary, telling him that he was ready. He tried to tell her that it wasn’t time yet, but she knew Jesus had everything he needed to start his new ministry to change the world.

Even Jesus was scared to start something new. His mom had to push him a bit, and she was right.

We talk a lot about Jesus being the Son of God, the Messiah, the Lord, but we don’t talk enough about Jesus also being a young man who loved his mom and didn’t know where or when to start his big job.

Mary was the first to believe in him.
