                                                           The Wedding Guest

               
        Years ago when Jonny Carson was the host of The Tonight Show, he interviewed an eight year old boy. The young man was asked to appear because he had rescued two friends from a coal mine outside his home town in West Virginia.

             As Jonny questioned the boy, it became apparent to him and the audience that the young man was a Christian. So Jonny asked him if he attended Sunday School. When the boy said he did, Johnny asked “what are you learning in Sunday School?” “Last week our lesson was about when Jesus went to a wedding and turned water into wine.”

       The audience roared, but Jonny tried to keep a straight face. Then he said, “And what did you learn from that story?” The boy squirmed in his chair. It was apparent he hadn't thought about this. But then he lifted up his face and said, “if you are going to have a wedding, make sure you invite Jesus!”

       Jesus first miracle occurred at a wedding he had been invited to. It clearly announced His nature, showing that He came to bring joy to His people. God delights in His children, He celebrates with us.

      The host of the wedding celebration would have been embarrassed if the wine had run dry. Knowing this, Jesus’s mother turned to the One who can turn sorrow into gladness.  Jesus quietly worked behind the scenes to turn water into wine. When the banquet master tasted the wine, he was surprised that it was better than what had been served first.

       When we invite Jesus into every aspect of our lives, He can exchange our past pain for present comfort and turn our deep sorrow into divine delight. He can take old wounds and turn them into fresh wisdom. He can turn stale, old thoughts into new ideas and creative ways to solve our problems. He can take a cold silence and turn it into a warm conversation. If we just ask, He can take those things that we are ashamed of and cast them into a sea of forgetfulness, allowing us to experience true and deep joy. He does not save the best for clast; He saves the best for now.

       Those who drew the water knew the secret. Jesus has the power to change things. Just imagine what He can change if only you issue an invitation. He is the guest who can never stay for too long.
