H2O into Wine
I’m fascinated by the concept of the ordinary
becoming extraordinary. The transformation of water into wine at the Marriage at Cana is the first miracle
attributed to Jesus in the Gospel
of John. The wine is fix’n to run out and Christ performs a miracle by
turning water into the best wine, extraordinary, wine. The story begs the
question, what’s the significance
for us? I imagine each of us having a string of DNA
in us coded: extraordinary. It’s just
waiting to be released. The problem is it’s easier to be regular than
remarkable. The difference between being regular, being ordinary, are the
“extras” in life: making an extra effort
to support others; taking the extra effort to give credit where it’s due; going
the extra mile to put words and thoughts in to actions. Oswald Chambers wrote: “All of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made
extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.” All we need, to make extraordinary things
happen, is to listen to God and follow by it by faith.

we turn the wine back into water" ~ Bob Goff
