Jesus was not unwilling to provide miraculously for the bride and bridegroom. After all, despite having just entered into public ministry, He made time for their wedding in the countryside. 

Rather, Jesus did not take this decision lightly. The word “hour” from this passage is the same Greek word used in John 13:1 to refer to Jesus’ crucifixion on the cross. Jesus’ response here was as if to say: “Once I begin performing signs, I start toward the cross.”

Nevertheless, Jesus would go on to turn water into wine despite knowing where taking this step would bring Him.

Are there things in your life that you’re struggling to surrender to God? Is there a step you are struggling to take? Take it to Him in prayer.
