John 2. 5: Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.
Yesterday when I read these words, I thought how good it would be if all of us heard and obeyed them.
They were spoken just after our Lord Jesus had said, Let Me follow out My own course (this is what Westcott says is the meaning of the words He used to Mary)--if you love Me, trust Me.
Mary understood her Son and Lord. So she said very simply to the servants, Whatsoever He tells you to do, do it.
If there be love in our hearts, there will be confidence, and we shall be ready to say to ourselves just what Mary said to the servants (without any ifs or buts), "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it." --Edges of His Ways, Amy Carmichael
