"He thus revealed his glory"

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

The scene: a wedding party in Cana

The actors: Jesus, his mother, his disciples, and a lot of people partying

The situation: “after the guests have had too much to drink”

The act: turning 120+ gallons of water into good wine

The reaction: “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

The result: “He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.”

So, tell me again why so many Christians vilify any and all forms of alcohol? Inappropriately used, alcohol can lead to all kinds of sin and depravity–but Christ speaks against the sin and depravity, not the alcohol. Judge for yourself: can you drink alcohol and maintain Christ-honoring behavior? Enjoy. Does alcohol lead to you violating his commands? Abstain.

However, please, please, PLEASE quit judging your brothers and those outside of the church who drink alcohol. If it was a good enough medium for Christ to use to reveal his glory, who are you to judge?!
