A taste of new wine

Morning: Psalm 88; Judges 9:1-16; Acts 4:13-31

Jesus’s miracle of wine from water shows his radical newness: “no-one keeps the best wine until last.”  Jesus represents the promise that, in the end, everything will be made new.  The other Gospels tell how ‘new wine’ breaks old wineskins. But our world urgently needs the new paths Jesus calls us to tread. Surely the couple from the wedding at Cana lived the rest of their lives with extra zing and vitality because of the new and vital energy that Jesus helped them to taste on their wedding day.  When you think you’ve tasted everything … suddenly, a new vintage!
