Joh 2:10 KJV (10) 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. The Miracle at Cana Thou hast kept the good wine until now— Joh_2:10 Two Periods of Christ at a Feast When a man has set his hand to some stupendous task that can only be achieved through years of suffering, there are two seasons when the strain is sorest. One is when the great work is but begun and the difficulties of it are coming into view; the other is when the work is well-nigh ended. At these two times, when the strain is most intense, the heart recoils from the common intercourse of life. It is very notable that at these two periods we should find Jesus seated and happy at a feast. When other men are fevered, He is feasting. When others cannot brook the common talk, He joins the conversation of the happy table. Could you have guessed, seeing that quiet stranger at the table, that but a week before, alone and in the wilderness, He had been tempted so fiercely by the devil? Could you have thought, seeing Him at the Last Supper with His own, that in a few days He would be crucified? The marriage feast at Cana and the closing banquet in the upper chamber not only tell us of His great love for men, they fill us with ever-deepening surprise at the wonderful serenity of Christ.
