John's Writing Style

John, the writer of the gospel of John, writes as though he were a reporter in that he uses four of the five Ws (when, what, where, and who) that journalists are taught to use in their articles. However, he does not tell us why, which is the missing W.

The Questions

The questions are as follows:

• Why did Jesus get involved?
• Why did the wedding happen on the third day?
• Why was this wedding special as to warrant Jesus's involvement?
• Why in Cana of Galilee, of all places?
• Why was Mary there?
• Why did Jesus intervene by turning water into wine?

If you want answers, you're holding them in your hands.
