When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from, (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bride groom.

- John 2.9

Michael Jordan tore it up that night. He went twenty-three of thirty-seven from the floor and sank twenty-one of twenty-three from the line. That cashes out as MJ's career-best and the ninth highest single-game scoring performance in NBA history. Toss in eighteen rebounds, six assists, and four steals and it isn't hard to understand why Jordan now says that on Wednesday, March 28, 1990, he handed in his all-time best performance. His heroics fueled the Bulls' 117-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Rookie forward Stacey King had a different take on the contest: "I'll always remember it as the night Michael Jordan and I combined to score seventy points." King sank one free-throw. 

The servants at the wedding feast might offer a similar testimony. 

When the bartender told his boss that the well had run dry, Jesus' mom goaded him into intervening. The Lord didn't just make up the shortfall! The King James measures this miracle in firkins, which almost nobody uses anymore; in modern terms, we're looking at around thirty gallons per barrel. Jesus, in essence, sets up a six-kegger wedding as he lays on 180 gallons of the warm south! John remembered it as the night Jesus performed the first of the seven signal signs of his messiahship.

I think the servants remembered it as the night that they and Jesus combined to make 680 liters of high-quality hooch. 

They couldn't turn water to wine, but they could fill jars with water. They couldn't do what was needed, but they could do what they were told. And their greatest reward was that these minimum-wage flunkies, probably hired off the books from a convenience store parking lot, were in on the secret that their boss never suspected. Sometimes when we do only what we're told to do, Jesus does what only he can do, and we get in on a record-breaking revelation and share the inside scoop on the movement of the Spirit. 

By the way, the Bulls won that game in overtime, meaning that regulation play ended in a tie, meaning that Stacey King's one point provided the pivot to victory. No solitary free-throw, no overtime; no overtime, no eight additional eight points for Jordan; no additional eight points means a final tally of sixty-one, which is respectable but no record-breaker. 

Do what you can; do what you're told. . .and remember it as the night you and Jesus teamed up to save the world.
