The Word of Relentless Love - Gospel of John EP05

Perhaps one could get drunk on something so Good that it would never be bad. Maybe you could lose yourself and find yourself in Love. You can’t say “no” to addiction until you say “yes” to connection; you can’t say “no” to sin until you say “yes” to love. God is Love and God is a Party (3 Persons, 1 Substance). Jesus didn’t just turn ordinary water into wine; He turned water from six stone jars used for the Jewish rites of purification into wine. Anyone interested in justifying themself according to “the Law” could sit by the jars and judge their neighbor and feel self-righteous, even as they trapped themselves alone in outer darkness. Nothing wrecks a party quite like those intent on exalting themselves, those addicted to the last idol: their own ego. Kisses are dangerous, but they have the power to melt your ego and set you free… Jesus is the Kiss of the Father that conquers the world. His blood is wine. And we are commanded to place it on our lips and ingest it like a seed.
