The Chibi News Daily Reflection
Hi, I'm Mike, a vicar in the Church of England. If ever we're tempted to think that God is boring
we need only look at Jesus' first miracle, turning water into wine
A wedding feast hits disaster as the wine runs out and Jesus effectively says, the drinks are on me
It's a glimpse into a God whose purpose is celebration and joy
But there's more. See, the guests marvel that the best wine has been kept until the end
I know how that speaks to a deep ache in the human heart
See, the tragic reality is that joy eventually fades and life eventually ebbs
And yet Jesus declares that his very mission is to reverse that story
to offer hope beyond decay, to promise that the best is yet to come
Friends, the destiny of the world is not cosmic death, but the renewal of all things
Now you might ask, how can intelligent people believe this? Because the one who promised it himself defeated death
Millions of people throughout history, including some of our greatest minds, have examined the evidence for Christ's resurrection and found it compelling
and if he truly rose from the dead then his promise stands for those who trust in him the
best is not behind us but ahead
