Even the wine?

In Jn ch2, Jesus and his disciples and mother are attending a wedding ceremony in Cana. This is a small village in Gallilee, hardly worth mentioning. In fact the miracle John notes here is not healing someone, or rising them from the dead. It is helping with more wine for celebration. With all Jesus was going to do, why note this miracle? Perhaps because God cares even about mundane things. True there is power over nature demonstrated here. Jesus is concerned about our happiness and well being, within the limits of God's law. As we will read, His mission was not to perform miracles, but He gladly did these out of love and compassion. He did not have to, but did!
