Water 2 Wine Youth Crewneck
WATER 2 WINE
The "Water2Wine" design is part of our "Thoughtful" collection, intended to provoke conversation around its deeper meaning. Inspired by Jesus’ first public miracle in John 2:1-11, this design highlights the overflowing blessings available to those who believe. Here are F4R key takeaways:
- The Jars:
- Symbolism: The jars used for ceremonial cleansing represent the old covenant practices.
- Transformation: In Christ, we are washed by the water of the Word (Eph 5:26), symbolizing our faith and right standing with God.
- Key: The old covenant practices symbolized in the jars are replaced by the new covenant promise in Jesus, accessible to all who believe.
- The Wine:
- Refinement: The best wine requires years of skilled labor, symbolizing the careful process of spiritual growth.
- Abundance: Jesus produced the modern equivalent of roughly 900 bottles of wine, signifying abundant blessings.
- Symbolism: Wine symbolizes the blood of Christ, cleansing us and transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
- Key: Once cleansed with water, we are now cleansed by the blood of Christ, blessing us abundantly above what we can consume.
- The Ceremony:
- Location: The wedding in "Galilee of the Gentiles" foreshadows the inclusivity of Christ's ministry.
- Symbolism: Christ as the "Bridegroom" and the Church as the "Bride" (Eph 5:22-27).
- Key: Believers can have a close, personal relationship with Christ, collectively representing the community of Christ.
- The Disciples & Mary:
- Example: Mary’s conviction to intercede and her unwavering trust in Jesus serves as a model for all believers.
- Instruction: She urged others to follow Jesus’ instructions, leading to belief among His disciples.
- Key: If we believe with the confidence and conviction of Mary, petitioning Jesus on behalf of others and following His instructions, nothing will be held back from us.
JOHN 2:1-11
-
1 The next day there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there,
2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.
3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5 But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled,
8 he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over.
10 “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
11 This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
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.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

1 ON THE third day there was a wedding at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus also was invited with His disciples to the wedding.
3 And when the wine was all gone, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no more wine!
4 Jesus said to her, [Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? [What do we have in common? Leave it to Me.] My time (hour to act) has not yet come. [Ecc_3:1]
5 His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it.
6 Now there were six waterpots of stone standing there, as the Jewish custom of purification (ceremonial washing) demanded, holding twenty to thirty gallons apiece.
7 Jesus said to them, Fill the waterpots with water. So they filled them up to the brim.
8 Then He said to them, Draw some out now and take it to the manager of the feast [to the one presiding, the superintendent of the banquet]. So they took him some.
9 And when the manager tasted the water just now turned into wine, not knowing where it came from--though the servants who had drawn the water knew--he called the bridegroom
10 And said to him, Everyone else serves his best wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then he serves that which is not so good; but you have kept back the good wine until now!
11 This, the first of His signs (miracles, wonderworks), Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory [by it He displayed His greatness and His power openly], and His disciples believed in Him [adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him]. [Deu_5:24; Psa_72:19]
