The Good Wine! "Every man serves the good wine first,
and when the people have drunk freely,
then he serves the poorer wine;
but you have kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of His signs Jesus did in
Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory,
and His disciples believed in Him."-John 2:10-11, bold mine The beginning of the signs of Jesus Christ happened at the "Wedding in Cana." Please note the key to the story: Jesus didn't just turn the water into wine...He turned the water into the "good wine" (see above). Jesus never did anything half-heartedly. He always gave His best. Always! Also note: The glory of God was manifested
because it was the "good wine." Can you imagine the story any other way? Can you imagine Jesus turning the water into some "nasty-tasting" wine that the guests were repulsed by and left the headwaiter unimpressed? Of course not! God is glorified when, and only when, we give our best!(see Luke 21:1-4). "Whether, then, you eat or drink or
whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
-1 Corinthians 10:31, bold mine Doing "all to the glory of God" means giving the best to your marriage, your children, your job and your church. Your best energy, your best effort, your best ability. Being a Christian doesn't necessarily mean you'll always be the best, but it should mean you'll always give your best. IF IT'S NOT YOUR BEST...
GOD IS NOT IMPRESSED.
