John 2 reminds us that Jesus is Lord over both the sacred and the ordinary. At a wedding, He revealed His glory in quiet power. In the temple, He revealed His authority with righteous passion. Both miracles speak to His identity as the Son of God. Are there areas in your life—celebrations or sacred spaces—that need His presence restored? Invite Him in. He still turns the empty into full and drives out whatever doesn’t belong in His Father’s house. Let Him cleanse, let Him fill, let Him reign.
