The Water and The Wine
John 2:1-11

The Wedding at Cana is more than the story of a miracle. It is the story of man's salvation.
The following is an excerpt from my spiritual journal dated October 19, 1996.

The wine created from water is the Holy Spirit alive in man.

The Holy Spirit was alive in man in the beginning, and then man chose his own way.

The Son came, and lo and behold, the water poured from his side, and the Spirit was poured out a hundredfold upon mankind.

The best was saved for the last and the children of the kingdom drink their fill.

The Holy Spirit is available to all in abundance, but not all will drink of this.

Some will have filled themselves with the wine of the world, and so to drink this new and better wine, will not taste the goodness, for they are drunk with the things of this world.

"Taste and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8a
