The earth is under a curse; its people are dying out because of their sins. Grapevines have dried up: wine is almost gone-- mournful sounds are heard instead of joyful shouts. No one plays tambourines or stringed instruments; all noisy celebrating has come to an end. They no longer sing as they drink their wine, and it tastes sour. Towns are crushed and in chaos; houses are locked tight. Happy times have disappeared from the earth, and people shout in the streets, "We're out of wine!"
Isaiah 24: 6 - 11
The first public miracle that Jesus performed was to turn water into wine at a wedding. The celebration could not continue without the wine and the wine was running out.
Isaiah 24 speaks of a time when people will shout in the streets, “We’re out of wine!” The celebration of unrighteousness is totally dependent on the intoxicating wine of this world. But there will be a time when the blessings of God that have always fallen on the righteous as well as the unrighteous will no longer be there for those who don’t follow Jesus Christ.
A time of terrible trouble will come on this earth, and those who don’t know Jesus will have no place to turn for more wine! But those who have given their hearts to the Son of God will be sustained by the water of life that continually turns to wine in the life of a believer!
As a Christian you may lose everything you own, your loved ones and even your life, but Jesus will be with you and will give you the wine you need to celebrate with Him forever! The disciples of Jesus will never be out of wine!
“Lord Jesus, thank You for turning the Water of Life into Wine for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. May Your Name be praised now and forever. Amen.”
