Isaiah 3/4 John 2

God brings judgement on Judah and Jeusalem. The warning is, what you have is taken away. Materialism and wealth can be a road that sepertes us from God. It is not what we have but how we handle it. Money and wealth in themselves are useful and needful but the love of money and wealth are the root of all evil. It will drive a fence between ourselves and God and eventually lead us to a place where we are dry and barren. Just like the wedding feast in John 2 "the wine had run out", what do we do or where do we look when our wine has run out?
Isaiah 3:8-9 tells us that Jerusalem and Judah have bought their disconnected, disjointed and broken relationships with God upon themselves, For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall, because they speak out against the Lord and refuse to obey him. They provoke him to his face. The very look on their faces gives them away.They display their sin like the people of Sodom and don’t even try to hide it. They are doomed! They have brought destruction upon themselves.(NLT) "their tounges and their deeds are against God, they do not hide their sin. So it would appear that the manner of our lives and the words from our mouths matter. We should declare God with our speech and honour Him in our work. Has your wine run out?
In John 2 Mary was the one who knew the answer to a desperate situation. She knew Jesus to be God and in John 2:5 she tells the servants to "do whatever He says. This is our deliverance from wanton and reckless living that has wrung us dry spiritually to a place where our wine has run out. "do whatever he says"
In brief what Jesus says is reclaim the disused water pots. John 2:6 Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.(NLT) The wording in the greek indicates that these pots were not being used for what they were intended, disused and discarded.
God wants us to reclaim and fill the water pots, reclaim our lives for Him and for us to fill them with clean refreshing water. Ah you say "but that is not wine", yes but notice Jesus does the miricle "draw out and bear". If we are obedient to the word of God then He does the miricle and restores us to useful people honouring him with our words and deeds.
