Thompson speaks on the miracle at Cana and the cleaning of the Temple from John 2:1-11. In light of the prompting of Mary, Jesus affirms that the agenda for His ministry has been set by the Father and not by the will of humans. The transformation of the water into wine symbolised the change that Jesus would bring through the New Covenant. Faced with emptiness, Jesus provides beyond what was previously offered. As the ultimate bridegroom, Jesus will provide lavishly. The episode at the Temple saw the Jewish authorities obstruct the purpose of the Temple as a place for prayer for the nations. Jesus came to replace the Temple, through His body God dwells amongst His people, offered in ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the people.
