Today at Spirit Feeding, the Bible study at the beginning of Breaking Bread, we read and discussed Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine. I've heard a lot about this passage, but never what we talked about tonight. One of our Moody Bible students led us this evening and wrote up our discussion pages. Instead of going the normal route, we read some OT passages about wine and it's significance in Messianic age prophecies. Basically, God told the people of Israel that in the future he would come back and restore them. What would restoration look like? You will have your own fields, grain and wine will abound. So...along comes Jesus. He's at a wedding. There's no more wine. He makes wine appear. A guy that can make wine appear must be the...yeah, MESSIAH!
It was also cool talking about the other aspects of the wine in the story. The wine showed up in ceremonial washing bins. It was cleansing wine. Wonder if the Messiah's blood was cleansing?

I'm finally over my strep. If you're thinking about getting strep anytime, don't. It's really horrible. Another one of our staff members at church won free burritos at Chipotle. Seriously, I'm the only one that hasn't won them. It's my day off, but I'm going in for lunch, since it's a free burrito. Carnitas, black beans, sour cream, cheese, mild and corn salsa. The only appropriate choice.
peace,
