Ministry in an Obscure Town
Commentators note that Jesus's first miracle wasn't in the grand temple in Jerusalem, but at a wedding in Cana, a relatively small town. Scholars like Charles Spurgeon see this as significant, showing that Christ's work began among ordinary people in everyday life, sanctifying common events and places.
