On the surface it seems like a waste. The miraculous power of the Messiah harnessed to make wine out of water. Is that the point? Does God enter our world to fill our bellies, or add what’s missing? Beneath the surface the miracle has deeper meaning. This is the Messiah’s first supper. It’s the last supper that holds our attention because it follows after all that Jesus has done. But if we join the party at the first supper and listen, watch and reflect on it as the first supper, we will see Jesus, the light of the world, uses his power to initiate a new order, to deliver on an age old promise, and to birth hope for all who are willing to follow Him. Jesus is the party maker who brings new life to those who trust Him. Today, Pastor Dave Marttunen continues his series, "Near Enough to Receive" part 4, "The First Supper", based on the opening chapters of John's gospel.
