The Marriage Feast of the Lamb

“Jesus said to them, ‘Fill the water pots with water.’

And they filled them up to the brim.

And He said to them, ‘Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.’

And they took it.

When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

He said to him, ‘Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!’

This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.” [1]

“Moses turned water into blood, showing that the Law results in death. [2] But Jesus’ first miracle turned water into wine, showing the gladness and joy of His new work.

This acts out what John said, “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” [3]

We could say that the water is like a relationship with God under the Old Covenant, and the wine is like a relationship with God under the New Covenant. The wine was and better than the water; and the New Covenant is better than the Old Covenant.” [4]

One day, we will be clothed in the wedding garment of righteous deeds. [5] From that day forward, we will experience unbroken fellowship with God. The joy we will experience on that day is beyond description as we will see Christ face-to-face. [6] We will experience this day because we believed that Christ is the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world! And He took away our sins. Praise the Lord!
