Jesus Saves the Best for Last (John 2:1-11)

Jon continues this week from the book of John, now focusing on the story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. Jon talks about the experience of things "running out"—like gas, money, or emotional strength—to relate to the crisis in the biblical story where the wine runs out at a wedding feast, emphasizing that people are not ultimately in control of their lives. Jon also invites up two Campus Light mentors to give personal testimonies about how their lives were transformed from "bland" to "flavorful" through their commitment and obedience to God. Overall, Jon underscores the theme that in the world, the "banquet is in the first bite," meaning the best experiences fade quickly, but that Jesus saves the best for last by bringing ultimate and lasting joy through transformation and obedience to him.
