Drawing out
the wine Mark 8:1-8
We have been
using the wedding in Cana of Galilee to see how miracles happen and what our
part is in them. We are also looking how our water is turned to wine. First we
saw why we should involve God in our life, even in small things. Next we saw
that God’s desire is to take hearts of stone and make hearts of love and compassion.
Last time we talked about the hard work of the soul, the filling our jars with
water. Now comes the perhaps the craziest thing of all, drawing out the wine.

By the power
of God we have had our water turned into wine. We have been given what the rest
of the world craves. Be bold, have courage and show it to the world. Be crazy
enough to offer it to others and fill their glass.
