Would you please explain the significance of Christ's words to his mother in John 2:1-5 [1] And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: [2] And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. [3] And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. [4] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. [5] His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

The relationship of Jesus to his mother, Mary, had to be one of the most unusual in the history of man. Here was the God-man being brought up by a fallible human mother. Yet, Mary was indeed His mother. She is called the mother of Jesus before His birth (Luke 1:43And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

See All...; Luke 2:33And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

See All...; John 2:1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
See All..., 3, 5, 12), and after His ascension into heaven (Acts 1:14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Jesus submitted to Mary while He was a child (Luke 2:51And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

Jesus refused to let Mary lead (John 2:3-4 [3] And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. [4] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

See All...). One interesting fact about the text of the gospels is that we have no record of Jesus calling Mary, Mother. This does not mean that He never called that; only that this was not the emphasis of the Bible record. He identified the faithful followers of the Father as His mother and brethren (Matthew 12:46-50 [46] While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. [47] Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. [48] But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? [49] And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! [50] For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Much speculation has been made about why Jesus called Mary, Woman. To modern ears, this sounds very harsh. On the other hand, Bible scholars try to make it a name that has no harshness at all. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Though “Woman” was not a demeaning name, it is not the sweetest of names either. Jesus used it to put a distance between Him and Mary. It is the same title that Jesus used in reference to the Samaritan woman (John 4:21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
See All...) and the woman taken in adultery (John 8:10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
See All...). Jesus used it again of his mother when He made provision for Mary after His death (John 19:26-27 [26] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [27] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
See All...). It was not an endearing name of love but a statement of fact. It was often used by the people of the time to refer to a woman in a neutral way. When Jesus used it of His mother in Cana of Galilee, He was letting her know that this was not the place for familiarity and that He would do the will of His heavenly Father, not the will of His earthly mother. Her influence on Him was not what it was when He was a child.

However, after Jesus made His point about not following Mary, He was free to do something anyway, either out of love or from the fact that the time for acting was right. Mary was allowed to give this proper command to the servants: “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it” (v.5; Deuteronomy 18:15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
See All...; Luke 5:5-6 [5] And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. [6] And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
See All...). Being put in her place did not keep her from doing all she could to help her son take His rightful place. Now, He allowed her to help and performed His first earthly miracle. The work of the Lord was done.

Unfortunately, most people today cannot handle the humbling remark or event that puts them in their place. They pout and often quit serving God. They are not going to let anyone treat them that way. Mary was a godly lady. She accepted the gentle rebuke she received from the Lord Jesus and just kept on serving. We could all learn something from Mary.
