John 2:10

This is a spiritual lesson. Every man and every institution of man's—even at their best—is only going to bring forth failure. That's represented by the old wine. Do you remember the parable Jesus told in the other books about pouring the new wine in old bottles? What does the wine represent? It represents the old teaching; it represents the old way of life. Christ is saying you cannot mix the two of them together.

So He goes to this wedding and He changes the water into wine. This lesson is connected to that. He is showing us that nothing in the old way is really going to lead to life! It's going to be consigned to failure. It's been tried in the fire, as it were. It has been tested through almost six thousand years of man's history. EVERYTHING MAN HAS DONE, every way of life, every institution, every religion, every government, every educational system, every way of life, has failed! God is saving His wine until the last—saved for the few that He is calling out in this age.
