The wedding

Once upon a time, Jesus and His disciples were invited to a wedding feast. Mary, His mother was also there. They were all having a grand old time, celebrating, dancing, drinking wine and
suddenly, Mary noticed that they had run out of wine.

She nudged Jesus and said, 'They've run out of wine.' Jesus said, 'I can't do anything about it. It's not my time to do anything miraculous.' She disregarded Him and said to the servants, 'Whatever He tells you to do, do it.' Well, that put Him on the spot and perhaps out of respect to His mother and compassion for the family, He said to the servants, 'Fill the water pots with water.' There were six pots sitting there and they could hold 20-30 gallons of liquid a piece. Let's see...20x6=120...30x6=180...120-180 gallons of water! That would take some time to draw that much water from the well and they were in a hurry.

When they had filled the water pots to the brim they came back to Jesus and He said, 'Draw some out of the pots and take it to the master of the feast.' And that they did.

The master of the feast tasted the water that had been turned into wine and said,
'Usually, people give their guests the best wine first and after they have well drunk, they put out the cheaper wine, but you have saved your best wine for last!' And thus the reputation of the bride and groom and their families was saved. (Because 120-180 gallons of good wine is no small thing!)

This was just the beginning of signs with which Jesus manifested His glory and His disciples believed in Him. (John 2:1-11)

Have you noticed in life that
"business as usual" is no longer working?

Look around you.

What used to work for producing income, doesn't anymore.
What used to work for growing the church, doesn't anymore.
What used to work for unifying your family, doesn't anymore.

It's a disconcerting wake-up call.

Wake up!
Wake up!
The wine's run out!

It is time to fill our lives up to the brim with Living Water.
It is time for Jesus to do something with the water in our vessel.

It is time for the Master of the Feast to take a taste test from the wine of our lives.

Will He say, "You've saved the best for last!"
or will He say, "It's business as usual. The inferior wine is being served."

How do we fill up the water pots of our lives with Living Water?

We read, meditate, and study His Word because we learn
to know Him in it because He is the Word of Life.

We talk to Him and listen to Him and live in the truth that He will never leave us or forsake us.

We keep ourselves in the love of God and stay in fellowship with other believers.

We pray in the Holy Ghost.

We do what Jesus says to do.

Because it's wedding time.
And the wine's run out.

And the Master of the Feast
needs to taste the wine
that Jesus has made
from the Living Water
contained in our vessels.

And regardless if our wine
is inferior or the best,
the guests are in need of our wine.

We who are the vessels
are also the guests
and we drink wine from one another.

What kind of wine will we offer one another?
What kind of wine will we drink?
