fine wine

“Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.”
John 2: 6-8 NLT

The first miracle of Jesus. He took ordinary water and turned it into the finest wine. For the past couple years this passage has been on my heart. I’ve known about for over thirty years but recently it has taken on new meaning.

It speaks to transformation. Taking something mundane and ordinary and transforming it into something precious and valuable. I no longer see this as just Jesus’ first miracle but I see it as a foreshadowing of what He came here to do. Change you…change me….from broken, lost souls into people who live, breathe and move in Him so that His beauty is reflected in our spirits.

May you know today that if you are intentional about pursuing Jesus that you are transforming every moment, moving closer to the person you were created to be. Allow Him to continue the transformation as you give more and more of yourself over to Him.

Grace and peace,
