Good wine and God's glory

John 2 The changing of the water to wine.



" But you have saved the best till now !"

This, the first of his miraculous signs...He thus revealed His glory and his disciples put their faith in him.

This makes me smile, God's glory revealed in good wine.

God's glory revealed in taking away a lack of preparation by the host.

God's glory revealed in making his mother happy.

God's glory revealed in a marriage ceremony.

God's glory revealed in a recognition of cultural expectations.

God's glory revealed in elevating and making right an embarrassing moment.

Result: Disciples put their faith in him...

God's glory is not that complicated...maybe when we

help elevate an embarrassing moment

do something for our parents

understand a relevant cultural happening and abide and give respect

come alongside a harried co-worker and lessen their load

drink some good wine in good company at a good celebration

we in turn glorify God and our faith is visible.
