The story of Jesus' first miracle:  turning water into wine at a wedding celebration, is recorded in John 2. Here is the last portion of it:


"When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though the servants did), he called the bridegroom over.

"'This is wonderful stuff!' he said. 'You're different from most. Usually a host uses the best wine first, and afterwards, when everyone is full and doesn't care, then he brings out the less expensive brands. But you have kept the best for last!'"

* John 2:9 & 10 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "People look everywhere but to God for excitement and meaning. They somehow expect God to be dull and lifeless. Just as the wine Jesus made was the best, so life in Him is better than life on our own. Why wait until everything else runs out before trying God? Why save the best for last?"
