“And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” (John 2:6-10)
As our Lord began His ministry on earth, His first recorded miracle is found during His attendance of a wedding in Cana of Galilee. During the wedding feast they had exhausted their supply of wine. When Jesus is called upon to help the servants are instructed to fill the stone waterpots used for cleansing. The governor of the feast did not know where the fresh wine came from, but the servants did.
And so it is with everything our Saviour does. He saves the best until last. Life is filled with disappointments, sorrows, pain and suffering, evil. But for the believer, none of that can be compared to the "best saved for last" which shall be for all of eternity.
As the old adage goes, "He that laughs last, laughs best." “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.” (Psalms 2:4-6)
