John
  
11This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.12After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers, and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.


The disciples were amazed at Christ’s creative ability, and they felt his authority over natural phenomena. They saw his glory and believed that God had sent him. This led to trust in him. Faith needs time to grow, and obedience for understanding. If you study the works of Jesus, and delve deeply into his sayings, you will realize the greatness of his person.
Jesus broke away from his family, and was free from mundane duties to serve God. But his link with his mother and brothers continued. For a while they journeyed along with his disciples. his brothers went with him to Capernaum, the main town by the Lake Tiberias. The disciples however personally trusted him, not simply because of the sign at Cana. They clung to him for good.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, we thank you, for you have called us to a wedding, to abide in the joy of your fellowship. Forgive us our sins, fill us with your Holy Spirit. We shall follow you, and abide in righteousness and purity, just as you did and gave yourself for many.
