In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
“Woman, My hour has not yet come.” All of time revolves around one hour for our Lord. The hour of His death. His hour had not yet come. Not at that wedding. Not at that point in His life. His death for the redemption of all mankind, which is His entire purpose, had not yet arrived. By calling His mother, “Woman,” He was emphasizing the first promise given to the first woman (Genesis 3:15) that someday a Son would be born of a woman who would crush Satan, sin, and death. He is the Son. He was there for that purpose. But His hour was not yet.
