One of the more memorable miracles that Jesus performed was turning water into wine. It saved an embarrassing situation, but it primarily kept the party going.
The symbolism of the story is that Jesus offered something richer than what had been offered in the past. This was the goal of his ministry, to offer life and life ABUNDANTLY. Sometimes, the followers of Jesus take the wine of the Good News and turn it into water. We make it a form of worship or a set of beliefs. We take the excitement out of faith.
Jesus offers a different way of life. Let’s embrace it for what it is: LIFE AT ITS BEST!

He gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields.
Job 5:10
