We talked last weekend about Jesus turning water into wine, about transformation, journey, the closeness of the kingdom of heaven, and the marriage between God and humanity. The podcast is up in the Teachings if you're interested. We also talked about an amazing organization:
Wine to Water
We'll be supporting their efforts to join Jesus in this rescue mission through clean drinking water. We'd love to invite you to get educated about what they do, and maybe to give on your own.
"The very first miracle that Jesus performed was turning water into wine. He was at a wedding party that ran out of wine before the party was finished, which would have made the host look bad. Mary, Jesus’ mother, came to Jesus and told him about the wine running out. Jesus had compassion and told the servants to fill six stone water pots with water. Then they were to draw some water out and bring it to the head-waiter of the party. “When the head-waiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the head-waiter called the bridegroom, and said to him, 'Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.'” (John 2: 9-10) Wine to Water’s goal is to allow Jesus to turn His miracle around for the needy people of this world. It is our prayer that Jesus Christ will use those of us who have plenty to help provide someone who is less fortunate with the gift of clean water."
