Can we turn ourselves into wine?

My Sunday Scripture 2010.1.17



On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there,

and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited.

And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, 'They have no wine.'

Jesus said, 'Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.'

His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.'

There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons.

Jesus said to the servants, 'Fill the jars with water,' and they filled them to the brim.

Then he said to them, 'Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.'

They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from -- though the servants who had drawn the water knew -- the president of the feast called the bridegroom

and said, 'Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.'

This was the first of Jesus' signs: it was at Cana in Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

John 2:1-11

My Reading Notes:
--------------------

Jesus had turned water into wine. And this could also be explained into an analogy: that Jesus had come to earth to turn human beings into a higher form
of human beings, that the higher form of human beings are the human beings who know love.

Can each of us, turn ourselves into wine through Jesus? and through our own effort?

And this process has been going for two thousand years. At least for the western culture, they had received Jesus for that long, and for us in the fareast,
we had come to know this for only a few hundred years.

Can we raise ourselves up a level?

Can I raise myself up a level?

Yes, I hope I can.
