It was Andrew Moffatt who shared about the significance of the 6 stone jars filled with the glorious new wine:
"The jars of choice wine became a picture of God’s abundant grace, illustrating that Jesus did not come just to meet our spiritual needs. He came that we might flourish in every way. He came to offer hope and joy, for this life and the next.”
When we invite God's spirit to reside in us, Jesus doesn't just offer us half-measures. God gives us way more than we ever dreamed of or even deserve. May these stone jars (of John 2) be a reminder to us of God's abundant grace.
These vessels of stone are not filled to the brim, in order to present some kind of party-trick; they are filled so that we would always remember that, when we are empty or vulnerable, God has the power to make us flourish again.
Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”
