But, praise the Lord, His hour did come. After His death and resurrection, Jesus was ready to pour Himself out as the new wine through His Spirit. We can get still more insight into this by looking in Exodus 29. After His death and resurrection, Jesus was ready to pour Himself out as the new wine through His Spirit. Exodus 29 talks about the offerings that the priests had to offer every day, the offerings that Joel says will be cut off.
Every day there's the offering of a lamb in the morning and a lamb in the evening.
Along with this there's a grain offering of fine, beaten flour that has some oil mixed in with it, and wine. We've already seen Jesus described as the Lamb of God coming to take away the sin of the world. We've seen him described as the One who will baptize in the Holy Spirit. This is the reality of the grain mixed with oil, the crucified and resurrected Christ coming in the power of the Holy Spirit. Now we see him as the wine, as well.
