Ps 150:5... Praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
Praise him with the strings and flute....
I was reading about Jesus today and just imagining Him at all these weddings he must have gone to through His 33 years. Can you imagine all the dancing He must have done? Then that one amazing day when He turned the water into wine at the wedding feast. What a party that must have been! So much fun that they ran out of wine, and the Author of Love blessing the celebration with the very best wine ever served!
And think of it, He used these giant clay jars used for ceremoniously cleaning, in other words for keeping the law, that harsh, burden of Law.
Here's what Jesus said when some people got down on Him for not washing according to the Law.
Luke 11:46 Jesus replied, "And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
Jesus took these implements of the Law and turned them into new wine, beautiful wonderful new wine.
Oh and there were 6 of them..Ha! To me 6 is the symbol of 'not 7'! Get it 7 is perfect, 7 is our Lord, 7 is amazing and 6 well it's just 'not 7.' Heck, I think that's the whole point of the scary 666 number. It's this three 6's. Trying to be three, a trinity of sevens but just not! We need the Everlasting One, the beautiful menorah of the seven spirits of God. The Law just couldn't save us. We need this amazing wine, a free gift from our Messiah.
An alien on Star Trek once called us, humans, 'containers of mostly water.' Those clay jars are a lovely picture of us, I think we are about 95% water. Jesus takes that water and turns into wine.
Then the dancing can go on! Dancing at this amazing wedding feast.
Guess what happened when the prodigal returned to his Father? Uh, that would be dancing!
What's gonna happen at the end of this age? That would be the wedding feast of the Lamb, the Anointed One, the Messiah; where wine will be served and I'm just sure the dancing is never gonna stop!
