Episode Synopsis

“The Two Are Made One”Main point: The sign at the wedding feast was an announcement of the messianic age. In the New Creation, heaven and earth become one.INTRODUCTIONLast week we looked at an event in the life of Jesus which is recorded in all four of the gospels: the Baptism of our Lord. This week we encounter an event only recorded by John: Jesus turns water into wine at the wedding feast in Cana.Jesus turns water into wine! Of course he does! It's a feast! A celebration! The people have been there for three days. They're celebrating so much they run out of wine, but Jesus is there to provide more wine and the party continues. This is a famous story from the life of Jesus, but it's a story not always well-understood for the deep significance it holds. Yes, it's a demonstration of something amazing Jesus did, but there's more.
