John's comment on 2020-07-30 18:31:31:

This verse just goes to show you whatever Jesus offers makes what mankind or the world offers pale in comparison. The same goes for life. You can live life and drink wine or you can live securely knowing you have eternal life. Whatever Jesus provides is best so it'd best to follow him to have the true wine.

John's comment on 2015-06-04 19:11:34:

Whatever Jesus offers eternal life is better than anything this world can offer.

What was the master of the house trying to say? What was the meaning between serving the wine first or last?
