Deuteronomy 12:1-32; Song of Solomon 2:8-3:5; Luke 9:37-62
You have kept the good wine until now! John 2:10 NKJV
Dear reader, do you think that surrendering to Jesus is going to doom you to a life of boredom? There’s an important lesson for you in this first miracle Jesus performed. Typically, the “best” wine was served at the beginning of wedding receptions in Jesus’s day (see vv. 9-10). Yet what Jesus provided at the end was better than their very best. Life application: Don’t be fooled into thinking this world can make you happy. What Jesus offers is better than the best
this world has to offer. The world promises happiness, but it’s only temporary and leaves the bitter aftertaste of shame and regret. “The blessing of the Lord,” however, “makes one [spiritually and eternally] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it” (Prov. 10:22). —Brian Cretney
Blessings abound where’er He reigns: the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
The weary find eternal rest, and all who suffer want are blest. —Isaac Watts
