Our dirty water

 This week I studied John 2 a lot. I love the story of Christ turning water into wine! There is so much to be found in those 10 verses. 

I'd like to share one insight that I hadn't seen before this week! I was trying to imagine how it would be being the servant, expected to bring forth wine when he could only bring forth water. Desperate, he acted in faith to follow Mary's council to do whatever Christ asked him to do. I like to think that as he received instruction to fill up the pots, he was saying, "I know that we need to fill up the pots, sir. That is the issue! No matter how clean or pure the water I can provide will be, it will never be as qualitative as the wine that is required." I then like to imagine Jesus smiling patiently and saying something along the lines of, "I didn't ask you to provide wine. I only asked you to fill the pots up. :)" 

Of course, after the servant filled the pots, he brought them to the chief of the feast. Surely conscious of just how imperfect the water he had used was, he must have been among the most affected after seeing just how perfect the wine was.

When we are working in harmony with the Lords will, it doesn't really matter in the end just how many mistakes we end up making. Obviously, we should learn from our past, but we should have confidence that Christ's grace is sufficient!

Anyways, it was a great week! love y'all!
