Since God rested from work on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3), and Jesus only did what his Father would do (John 5:19), why<\/strong> would Jesus turn water into wine on the seventh day?<\/strong>  The account of the miracle at the wedding of Cana begins at John 2:1, "And the third day <\/strong>there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee." Nowhere <\/strong>in the full story (verses 1- 11) is day of the week when Jesus actually performed <\/strong>this miracle given. Therefore, we cannot conclude Jesus actually turned water into wine on the seventh day. \u200b<\/p>\n

However, Jesus did perform other miracles on the seventh day <\/strong>(our Saturday). In Luke 13:10-16, as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath, Jesus healed a woman <\/strong>who had been sick for 18 years<\/strong>. When the synagogue official confronted Him because it was the Sabbath, Jesus taught them the principle that it was good to do good for others on the Sabbath<\/strong>.\u200b<\/p>\n

Several times throughout his ministry, Jesus healed on the Sabbath. Each time when questioned by the Scribes and Pharisees, He gave a little more information. Matthew 12:11 (NIV), "He said to them, 'If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath<\/strong>.' "\u200b<\/p>\n

Similarly, in Matthew 12:1-13, Mark 2:23-28 and Luke 6:1-5, Jesus' disciples were picking and eating some grain on the Sabbath because they were hungry. The Pharisees challenged Jesus with the same question: why was He allowing them to work on the Sabbath? Jesus explained that He was Lord of the Sabbath<\/strong>, and reminded them that both David<\/strong> and the priests<\/strong> broke the Sabbath <\/strong>and yet were innocent <\/strong>in God's eyes <\/strong>(Matthew 12:3-5).\u200b<\/p>\n

Jesus was governed by the highest law of Love,<\/strong> which is the basis for all of God's laws<\/strong> (Matthew 22:37-39), and that is what he wants us to follow, as well.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
