John 2:9

Then the person in charge of the wedding banquet tastes the water that by now has morphed into wine.  He has no idea who brought the wine, but the servants who had him the sample certainly do.  It is at this point that the banquet planner calls the groom and takes him aside to talk to him about the surprise drink.  John 2:9 EFP

The plot thickens at this point.  After the servants, who had been sent anonymously by Jesus, take the water sample to the person in charge of the banquet, they stand by mischievously as he takes a sip.  I don't know what kind of reaction they anticipated.  There must have been some sort of positive response, since the text says that the banquet planner did not know where the wine came from.  It's almost humorous to read the text add the words, "but the servants knew where it came from."  They knew Jesus is the one who sent the sample of well water that now it has been transformed into wine.

What do the servants do when they realize something special has happened?  How do they hide the fact that the wine was just plain water a few seconds prior?  Do they laugh inside at the sight they are beholding?  Do they mask their amazement?  They obviously do not let the wine taster know-- he is clueless.  That side of the story will play out later.  All we know at this point is that he calls for the groom.  That must have been more than a bit nerve-wracking for the groom.  But what about the servants?  Do they truly understand what just happened? 

They obviously know something happened to the water, since the banquet master does not react with disgust or dismay when he tastes the sample.  The taster's facial expression must have betrayed his surprise.  An out of the ordinary event has just taken place.  They do not know how or exactly what, they just know that Jesus has something to do with it.  As the events develop, they simply stand by and soak it all in.  They must have been dying to "spill the beans" and tell everyone what happened.  The fact is, if nothing other than the fact that there is wine where there was none a few minutes before, it would have been a miracle worthy of retelling.  But they are in for more amazement before the evening is done.  Just when you think God has intervened and done something special, sometimes He comes through with a "bonus."  He is that kind of God.  He is amazing.  We should expect amazing things more often.
