It represents the generosity of God's love for people. After the devastation of national defeat and exile, experienced by Hebrew people, the prophets of Israel used the vision of a great banquet on God's mountain, with fine, rich foods and well-matured wine strained clear. He will destroy death forever. Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face, and throughout the world remove the indignities from his people. The Lord has spoken.
New wine is here.
Come again and rediscover joy in your life. Here is Jesus the One who invites you drink deeply and be refreshed. This is the first of the signs which revealed his glory and led his disciples to believe in him. The sign or miracle as some call it was accomplished in the ordinary work of providing hospitality, of caring for one's guests, of attending to need. What Jesus' people had known in their covenant with God was contentment and certainty that God stuck with them, in all moments of life.
