The wedding party didn’t do anything to warrant or earn more wine than they needed and certainly not wine that is being so celebrated. Jesus just gave it freely so that his disciples and we could believe. There are lots of ways to theologize and allegorize this passage that only appears in John. But as someone in Bible study pointed out this week when John wants to theologize, John does it. When we just take this text on its face there’s Good News of the abundance of God and that what we need, what God is here.
