“Woman, my hour has not yet come.” “Do whatever he tells you.” Thanks, Mom. The story of Jesus at the wedding in Cana reminds us that along with being the Savior of the World, Jesus was… a guy. A mother’s son. Turning water into wine is not the kind of pumped up introductory miracle we might have written for the Son of God. Who does that? Who says “Here I am to save the world!” by keeping a party going? The Son of Mary, that’s who. After being raised from the dead, Jesus appeared to his followers, but one of them, Thomas, was not with them. Later, with Thomas in the room with the others, Jesus again appeared. He patiently accepted Thomas’s demand to see the nail holes in his hand and the spear wound in his side, and it was only after that that Jesus said, “Do not doubt but believe.” Long before that gracious acquiescence, Jesus first asked his disciples to follow him by saying simply, “Come and see.” No demands. No pyrotechnics. Just an invitation to watch and listen as they lived with him, walked with him, ate with him. That same invitation is extended to us during this Epiphany Season: “Come and See.” Steve Sylvester - January 11, 2026
