A Taste For More – 3/20/17

As we continue our Lenten series this Sunday, “Sensing the Gospel,” we will examine our sense of taste.  In the book of John, we read of Jesus’ first miracle – that of turning water into wine at a wedding.  And the wine that Jesus creates is not just any wine.  It tastes better than any wine that had been served to that point in the banquet.  It is so good, the chief steward chastises the bridegroom for not serving this good wine first.  The chief steward had tasted of the abundance Jesus provided, and that taste was not enough.  The same should be true of our life in Christ.  Once we have tasted of God’s goodness, we should continue to strive for a deeper relationship.  Our union with God is not something that waits until our death.  It is a journey that begins now.  I hope you will join us this Sunday for our Fourth Sunday worship service as we are challenged not to be satisfied with just a taste of God.
