In John 2, Jesus performed His first miracle. He turned water into wine at a wedding. The thing is, when you look at the way wedding were done in ancient times, they were what we would call, a big party. Dancing, drinking, singing, and more were done at a wedding. Jesus had to travel a great distance to get to this wedding, meaning that we could deduce at least two things from this. 1. That Jesus was well liked enough to know people who lived far away. Remember, they didn't hop into a taxi and get there a couple hours later, they had to take donkeys and go on foot. He must have been a good enough Guy to know these people and be invited. 2. Jesus turned water into WINE. It's not to say that Jesus was a wino, but rather the fact that the "party" was still going, and He genuinly cared enough for the bride and groom to keep the party going! I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like a stick-in-the-mud kind of Person. In Luke 10, we see that Jesus becomes with "joy from the Holy Spirit" when in the presence of children. The idea of Jesus being a stern-faced Man, who never smiled, well likely comes from our perception of Him in art, much the same way that we perceive Him as white, with brown hair and blue eyes. But imagine for a moment, just how popular of a person would be if they never smiled? Jesus was enormously popular in a lot of regions, meaning that He had to be quite a Guy.

One story from the gospels where Jesus shows joy is when he tells his disciples in Luke 10:21, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do." Jesus is joyful because God's truths are being revealed to those who are humble and open-hearted.

How can we follow Jesus example?
By reading about what he said and did in the gospels. Also read about those who were his followers, who carried on His work after He left earth.
