Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 2:5

"His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." — John 2:5 (ASV)

This holy woman took the rebuke in silence. She said nothing; she felt the force of Christ's words, and proved she did so by then fully believing that he would do something or other. Had he not said, My hour is not yet come? Did that not mean that the hour would come, and that he would do something eventually? So she quietly accepted his reproof.

Oh, you who are in great trouble, you feel as if you could force the hand of Christ; but you must not think of doing that. Even if you could have power over him, you would be very foolish to use it. Let him alone; he knows best how and when to show his grace towards you. Keep silence before him, and in patience commit your way to him.
