Christ meets the greatest need of this occasion – for wine at this wedding. He will meet our needs also. Do we pray for healing, for successful exam results? We may, but most important is conversion and forgiveness. Our souls are inactive – we have no eternal hope in God. That should be at the front of our minds.
Christ dealt with a need that no one else could meet. Only Christ can atone for our sins; no angel could do it. We are under condemnation and God cannot just turn a blind eye to our sin. It is against his holy nature. Who can solve this problem? Only God himself. The second person of the Trinity came down to earth and the Father took all our sins and punished him with an immeasurable punishment.
Christ must be perfectly obeyed. When we come to him for salvation, we must submit to him as Lord over all our thoughts, words and deeds. God alone knows the way of salvation, and we had better listen to him.
The wine was free to the wedding guests. If we are to be saved, we must be ready to come and receive a free salvation, which we do not deserve.
Christ took the lowest substance and turned it into wine. He takes our base nature and gives us moral power and opens our minds. He starts with nothing for we are dead in trespasses and sins.
Though it is normally a long process to make wine, this miracle was instantly achieved. Conversion is an instantaneous event. Yes, we may not ask in the right way initially, but as soon as we seek him with all our hearts and trust him properly, God blesses us.
Christ provided a lavish supply. Grace will last to the end of life and the believer says, ‘I shall not want.’
