Sermon for the second Sunday after Epiphany. The Scripture readings are Amos 9:11-15; Romans 12:6-16; and John 2:1-11.

The way John records this miracle, the groom is a necessary character, but he’s almost invisible. The groom doesn’t say or do anything except listen to the master of the feast call him an idiot for serving the good wine to guests who can’t appreciate it. He goes stumbling through the wedding feast unaware of what is happening behind the scenes and completely dependent on the prayers of others who interceded for him. The groom simply benefits from Jesus’ miraculous provision because of someone else stepping in bringing our problems to Jesus.

I don’t think you and I can even begin to imagine how many millions of people have stepped in and prayed for us, maybe not by name, but with a general prayer that God has answered in a way that blesses you. If we could see how God answers those prayers through governing all of creation; commanding His angel armies to protect and defend us; and using His infinite power, wisdom, and might to cause all things to work together for good (Ro. 8:28), we would fall on our faces in humility and praise.
