Good Wine, the Cross, the Return

What follows is a fairly random journal entry on Jesus turning water to wine (John 2:1-12).  Perhaps a different way of looking at it.

The best wine.
It was not yet His hour
When water from His side & blood from His brow would bring healing to the nations.

For now it was six pitchers of water transformed to the best of drink that caused the disciples to believe.

Soon Jesus would call for all who believe to eat His flesh and drink His blood.  No longer six pitchers of water poured out--He spoke of His very Life being given.

The water from His side marked His death, and with its flow our sin began washing away.  New Life sprang up wherever that river of Life went--issuing forth from beneath the alter of sacrifice.

But the hour is not yet.
A wedding feast is yet to come for the Bride who will be made ready and the Lamb who was slain.
Water and blood has been poured out.
The best wine is yet to come.
