John 2:5

Mary accepted Jesus’ statement humbly and did not nag Him. She did, however, urge the servants to cooperate with Him if He acted. She did not understand what He would do or when, but she had confidence in His compassion and ability. She demonstrated admirable submission and faith toward Jesus. She allowed Jesus to take charge and solve the problem, and she pointed others to Jesus, not to herself. Previously she had approached Jesus as His mother and had received a mild rebuke. Now she approached Him as her Lord and shortly received satisfaction (cf. Matthew 15:21-28). In this she provides an excellent example for us.
