The Finest of Wine

As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so Jesus Christ rejoices over us. He delights in us. He tells us “you are mine.” In his first public miracle, Jesus transformed water intended for ceremonial purification into the finest of wine, a symbol of his most precious blood, which would soon be shed to purify us from all unrighteousness, completely and forever. It was the Father’s will to purify us in this way, and to put faith in our hearts that we might know that Jesus Christ is Lord.
