Commentary on John 2:7

Theological / Devotional

Fill the waterpots. All that human power could accomplish was to be done by human hands (see p. 209). Divine power was about to be revealed, but conscientious human effort was to be united with it. God never does for men what they can do for themselves, as this would make spiritual weaklings out of them. Like Moses (see Ex. 4:2), the widow (2 Kings 4:2), and Jesus' own disciples (Matt. 15:34), we are to utilize fully the resources we have at hand if we expect God to add His blessing.

To the brim. The servants could later testify that nothing but pure water had been placed in the jars.
