On the Third Day (Vol 4 No 81)
On the Third Day (Vol 4 No 81)
The wine ran out! The wedding feast was doomed!
What could they do? The wine was all consumed!
His mother came to Jesus with a plea –
Could he assist and that, quite urgently.
Six water jars, a hundred litres each,
Were sitting empty, well within their reach;
“Fill all of them. Then serve it to each guest.”
When tasted by the host, “It is the best.”
The third day – we know what this day implies;
This gospel sign reveals and edifies;
Religious rites of cleansing, for the Jews,
Is now replaced by Jesus, his Good News.
His is the best wine we can ever taste;
Though so abundant, none should go to waste;
The One who lives, the host whene’re we dine,
We celebrate with bread and this new wine.
