Saving the Best Till Now

Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now. John 2:10

Things are always getting better with Jesus. Even in hard times, our best days always lie ahead.

The headwaiter at this wedding was amazed at the quality of wine that was served so late in the game. He had no idea that Jesus’ had just miraculously transformed ordinary and dirty drinking water into precious wine.

That’s what Jesus does.

And he does the same in our lives.

Every day is an opportunity for Jesus to transform our lives from the mundane or even painful to the extraordinary. Every day can be a day of new wine in our lives, even when times are bad.

You see: God’s presence transcends circumstances. So that Chinese Christian languishing in prison for his faith can sill know the intimacy of Jesus’ presence. He can know new wine even in his suffering.

That couple who just buried their child, even in their midst of their terrible grief, can know the healing and hope of God’s presence. They can know new wine even in their heartbreak.

All throughout history and all over the world, Jesus has been making new wine for people. He’s been surprising them even in the most difficult of circumstances. And their prayers sound something like this:

Jesus, you’re amazing. Somehow you managed to save the best till now.

What are you going through today? What prison is holding you? What trial is testing you? Look for Jesus and his new wine.

He tends to save his best work for days just like this one.
