He used Judaism\u2019s everyday practices and feasts to identify himself as the kingdom-bringer. When Jews imagined heaven or the coming of the Messiah, they envisioned the joy and abundance of a wedding banquet. But instead of a marriage, they would commemorate the end of exile and the inauguration of the messianic age. Jesus invites us to join the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disaster-avoided\">Disaster Avoided<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In first-century Israel, weddings were not just private affairs but weeklong, community-wide festivals. They were a time of great celebration, marking the beginning of a new life for the married couple. The groom\u2019s family, in particular, gained honor with a large attendance and a lavish spread of food and drink. Therefore, meticulous planning preceded the extended party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the wine ran out at the wedding feast that Jesus and his disciples attended in Cana (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=jn+2:1-11&amp;version=NIV\">John 2:1-11<\/a>). Since wine symbolizes prosperity, joy, and God&#8217;s blessing, a shortfall would bring shame, affecting the family&#8217;s social standing and conveying uncertainty about the future success of the marriage. Or maybe a suspicion that the groom&#8217;s family was less than pleased with the bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somehow, Jesus&#8217; mother, Mary, discovered the unfolding catastrophe of the empty wine cellar. (Perhaps she was part of the extended family or otherwise involved in the food preparation.) With alarm, she turned to her firstborn, hoping he could find some wine and prevent the impending social disaster. Despite Jesus\u2019 noncommittal response, Mary directed the servants to do whatever he told them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearby stood six large empty jars, the kind used to hold water for ceremonial cleansing, which removed the ritual impurity picked up during life&#8217;s everyday circumstances. Jesus directed the servants to fill the containers with water and then take some to the banquet master. John doesn\u2019t reveal if the servants knew of the transformation or how they felt about following Jesus\u2019 orders. Were their hearts pounding and feet dragging as they carried a cup of what they thought was water to the host? Did they expect the worst when he took a sip? The master of ceremonies\u2019 amazement at the wine\u2019s excellence probably matched the servants\u2019 astonishment at the wine\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-reverse-spiritual-burnout\">How to Reverse Spiritual Burnout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My empty, worn-out heart mirrored the used-up wine supply. Burnout dogged my steps as I juggled too many to-dos and too little time.
