blood, life of the party, Party, wine

St. John 2:3-4

“And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto Him, they have no wine.  Jesus saith unto her, Women what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.”

Christ is the life of the party.  At the wedding of Cana when there was no wine, Mary told Jesus “they have no wine.”  What Jesus replied to her is most interesting.   What did Jesus mean when He said, “Women what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.”

Well, wine represents the blood that Jesus would one day shed for us.  When Mary told Jesus “they have no wine” what this meant to Jesus was they have no life but it wasn’t yet time for Him to go to the cross and pour out His blood for all mankind.  However, to demonstrate what He would soon do.  He told the servants to fill the six water pots made of stone with water.  The number six is the number of man the stone pots and water represented how Christ would fill us with His Spirit and make us new creations in Him.  Jesus shedding His blood and giving us His life meant we would no longer be without life.  Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” And this all took place at a wedding, a place of covenant.  Jesus shedding His blood gave to us the new covenant of grace.

Therefore, when you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you have his life.  Life here on planted earth is no longer a lifeless party filled with uncertainty and gloom.  But it’s filled with love, joy and peace because the life of the party is in the midst of you.  You lack nothing!

Time To Party!

law, Party, praise, righteousness, Thanks, thanksgivng

Esther 9:22

“As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.”

After God had given Israel victory over their enemies, they threw a party.  God had turned their sorrow into joy their mourning into a good day He had given them a divine turnaround.

Esther 9:19 says “…they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.” The key word is they rested.  They rested in the victory that was given to them by rejoicing and having a good time.

Jesus has given us the victory over all our enemies, He has given us a divine turnaround.  He has given us beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that we might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord that He might be glorified (Isa. 61:3). 

Looking back on the things that held you captive will only rob you of your joy.  It was the law that held us captive and whenever we look back to the law for our righteousness it robs us of our joy.  In the days of Nehemiah the people were rejoicing until the law was read then they began to weep and mourn (Neh. 8:9).

Don’t let the enemy stop you from throwing a praise party by reminding you of what you’ve done or haven’t done.  We’re not blessed because of what we’ve done, we’re blessed because of what Jesus has done for us.  So come on let’s party!
