water to wine

John 2

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

I asked Holy Spirit about the symbolism of this sign.  I got a picture of Jesus at the cross when the soldier pierced his side, and blood and water flowed.  And the night before when Jesus told his disciples that the wine represented his blood, poured out for us.  Chronologically, I was reminded of Romans 5:

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

A lot of time passed between the fall in the Garden of Eden and Jesus's death on the cross.  God saved the best until then.  Jesus's humanity, symbolized by water, was turned into wine, symbolizing the Wedding Banquet of the Lamb.  

Each of the six ceremonial washing jars held the equivalent of 100 to 150 modern bottles of wine, and  600 to 900 bottles of wine (enough to take a bath in) symbolize the abundant generosity of God.  Jesus's blood flowed full stream.

Father, thank you for your great love, lavished on us all, that we can be your children.  Thank you for inviting us to the abundant banquet table.  Jesus, thank you for your abundant love.  Thank you for transforming my ordinary human life into a supernatural life, imbibed with your life.  Holy Spirit, anoint me and spill over through me today.  I ask in the name of Jesus.
