Taste the Wine

Isaiah 63,64; Psalms 107; John 2 

“Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water’; so they filled them to the brim…They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine…This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.”

John 2:7-9, 11

Did Jesus and his disciples drink the wine at the center of the miracle?

Of course they did! The glory of God is not meant to be reported at a distance, but rather, it must be experienced for oneself. “Taste and see that the Lord is good…” (Psalm 34:8). Our faith is not just in propositional truths, but in the reality of Christ’s peace and living presence within our lives. We can repeat other people’s miracles of faith, or we can experience God’s glory and testify of it ourselves.

In what new ways is God inviting us to taste his goodness?

What are our current needs that only Jesus can fill?

Will we, too, put our faith in him?

“Lord Jesus, I want to drink deeply of your presence and Spirit. You alone satisfy my soul and fill me. Thank you for your life and love and gifts this day, for your glory.”
