Running on empty.........

It was this picture that gave me this thought.  Perhaps the wondrous miracle at the wedding of Cana (turning water into wine) was more than just as announcement of who Jesus is.  Since it is this story which opens John's gospel, I have always engaged the story as a revelation of Jesus. But what if this story is equally a revelation of who we are?  Or, more accurately, how we are?

 Running on empty.  

Those Cana wedding guests were eating, and laughing, and, totally unaware, drinking up the very last of the wine.  Soon this party would be running on empty.  All that fun would come to a screeching halt.

What if this story is about the state of this world?  the state of us?  What if this world functions like a party going full blast totally unaware that, in just a moment, it was all coming to a screeching halt?

What if this story is about our great need, and God's gift of Jesus as Savior?  

Are you running on empty?  Let me introduce you to this Jesus.
