In this story Jesus performs his first miracle, turning water into wine. But there is so much meaning in the miracle Jesus chooses. He is showing that he is providing new wine, that the feast is ready (Isaiah 55) and that in the church he is providing a new wineskin that is better than the old. The church is a new covenant people, the new Israel, and we must be filled with the new wine – no longer law but grace, no longer sacrifices but the blood of Jesus, no longer distant but brought close.
