Stop focusing on the 'wine' When asked by His mother to do something about the shortage of wine, Jesus responded saying, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? (John 2:5). This statement almost seemed rhetorical. Why? Because the miracle had everything to do with God. One sad aspect of the story was that the bride and groom and attendees of the wedding never got to know the "wine maker" because they were too focused on the wine.... What is your wine today? a job you want, finances you're praying for or a house you want to buy. Whatever it is, don't let it take your eyes of the Person of Christ. Here are amazingly interesting symbols about Coptic wedding traditions to focus on at the next wedding you attend, besides the smiles and the fashion and the after party and the delish food!
