And\n he said to them, \"Now draw some out and take it to\n the master of the feast.\" So they took it.\n 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now\n become wine, and did not know where it came from\n (though the servants who had drawn the water\n knew), the master of the feast called the\n bridegroom\n 10 and said to him, \"Everyone serves the good wine\n first, and when people have drunk freely, then the\n poor wine.\" But you have kept the good wine until\n now. (ESV)\n\n Mary, the mother of Jesus, asked Him to help solve the\n problem of running out of wine at a wedding feast.\n Now there were six stone water jars there for the\n Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or\n thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, \"Fill the\n jars with water.\" And they filled them up to the brim.\n And he said to them, \"Now draw some out and take it to\n the master of the feast.\" So they took it. When the\n master of the feast tasted the water now become wine,\n and did not know where it came from (though the\n servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of\n the feast called the bridegroom and said to him,\n \"Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people\n have drunk freely, then the poor wine.\" But you have\n kept the good wine until now.\n\n\n By commandeering the water jugs, Jesus rendered it almost\n impossible impossible, to remain ritually clean under the Old\n Testament laws The water in the purification jugs became wine.\n Every detail John writes is to prove that Jesus is the Son of\n God, therefore he may have included this story to point us to the\n wine. After all, on the night Jesus was betrayed, He took a cup\n of wine and said, \"Take and drink, this is my blood.\" Later John\n wrote in his first Epistle, \"The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses\n us from all sin.\"[1] The purification under the Law was part of\n the ritual, but did not remove the guilt of sin The cleansing by\n the blood of Jesus purifies us from all sin, rendering us holy in\n God's sight. Is that the reason Jesus chose these water jars?\n\n May our Lord assure us that we are purified from our sin by \n His holy precious blood, that we have life everlasting by God's\n grace. Amen.\n\n____________________\n\n 1. 1 John 1:7b (ESV)<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January 23, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2828"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2828\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2829,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2828\/revisions\/2829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
