Christ's First Miracle
General Conference
It is with sadness that we recognize the death of President Russell M. Nelson, on September 27, 2025. President Nelson devoted his life to the service of others, and to the service of Christ. He will be remembered for many things, but perhaps one of his greatest teachings was:
"The Savior's message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire--no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers."
In lieu of this teaching, it is with great sadness that we also acknowledge the unthinkable act of violence that occurred at a chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Please join with those around the world in offering prayers of comfort, to those affected, during this sorrowful time.
As we continue to follow President Nelson's teaching of being peacemakers, we would encourage you to avoid speculation or messages contrary to the peace-giving message of Jesus Christ. Instead, share clips and inspirational messages from President Russell M. Nelson, celebrating his life and service on behalf of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Christ's First Miracle
In John, chapter 2, we read of the first miracle Jesus performed, changing water into wine. After realizing there would not be enough wine for the wedding festivities, Jesus' mother requested that Jesus help her with this situation. She had complete faith that the Savior could help.
This may have seemed like a trivial problem to those at the wedding, and it may seem like a trivial problem to us, but Jesus cared about his mother, and her needs, just as he cares about us and our needs. He stands ready to succor us, not only in times of great crisis, but in our everyday lives.
To prepare for His first miracle, Jesus spoke to the servants saying, "Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim" (John 2:7). These particular pots had been used for the wedding guests to wash themselves before entering the feast. They wouldn't have been clean, and the water in them definitely wouldn't have been fit for consumption. Jesus didn't examine the water, he just asked for the vessels to be filled. At that point, the water was turned into wine. Just like this water, the Savior meets us where we are. He can take what is dirty or broken and make it clean.
The governor of the feast spoke to the bridegroom, saying that it was unusual to save the best wine for last. The Savior had the power to turn dirty water into wine, and he can change us as well. He can soften our hearts, transforming our very nature. As we turn to Christ, and let the Atonement work in our lives, the Lord will heal and bless us beyond our imagination.
