Epiphany #5: There is more.

 You kept the good wine

   until now. (John 2:10)

The chief steward of the wedding feast at Cana of Galilee, can’t get over the fine quality of the wine the Bridegroom pours during the closing days of the celebration. The servants, in the kitchen, know that there is plenty more from where that came from: 180 gallons more; or, 900 bottles of wine more. It is not only the finest, but there is more than enough for everyone.

The abundance of the finest wine is how the prophets spoke of the Messianic Age: “The mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it” (Amos 9:13). The miracle at Cana is a “sign” pointing back to the longing of the Prophets; and, forward to the great wedding banquet that awaits us in Glory when The Bridegroom welcomes His Church—His Bride (Rv 19:9). Between now and then, every Christian wedding festival has something of Cana in it. Jesus is there.
