From the Ordinary to the Best

Today's Reading:
AM - Psalm 41 and 52
PM - Psalm 44
Gospel - John 2:1-12

For reflection: How could Jesus bring celebration back into your life?

********

In John 2:1-11, Mary mother of Jesus, Jesus and His disciples attend a wedding in Cana.  Mary tells Jesus, “They have no more wine.”  Jesus has the servants fill six stone water pots normally used for ceremonial washing.  Jesus turns the water in the pots into wine and has a sample of the wine taken to the master of ceremonies who declares the wine to be the “best saved until now”.  And the wedding celebration continues.

“This miraculous sign at Cana was Jesus’ first display of his glory and his disciples believe in him.”  John 2:22 (NLT)

Surprising!  Exciting!  Jesus takes the ordinary and turns it into the best.  Why not look to Jesus for the surprising and the best?  Just as the wine Jesus made was the best, He can take elements of our lives from empty to better to best!  Just don’t wait until the “last” to trust Jesus for the best! 

John 10:10b….. “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
