More Wine, Please (Jn. 2:1-12)

Read John 2:1-12.

1.  The host had run out of wine.  It was essential to the event's festivities.  Has the church run out of "wine"?  Have you? (v. 3).

2.  Tell Jesus when you run out of "wine" (v. 3).  He wants to hear you tell Him what He already knows.

3.  Jesus will provide the "wine", but not without your cooperation and obedience (v. 5).  Fill the "pots" (v. 7).

4.  Jesus' best is saved for "right now" (v. 10).  The best "wine" was not served 100 years ago, or yesterday, or at Pentecost.  The best wine is not reserved for a time you won't be able to enjoy it.

This could be adapted for a sermon on Pentecost Sunday.
