This presentation explores how Jesus is making all things new, focusing on God's relationship with humanity through covenants. Historically, sin created a "distance" separating God and humanity, limiting access to His presence. The Old Covenant provided boundaries and rituals, like the tabernacle and temple, allowing only certain people to get close, with one person entering the Most Holy Place once a year. Our sin kept us out, like social distancing for a perfectly holy God, who consumes sinners if they get too close.

The new covenant gets us in by making a way for "all people to come all the way in". The wedding at Cana, where Jesus turned water into wine, serves as a sign of this new covenant. A wedding is a covenant celebration. The running out of wine represented shame and debt for the bridegroom, symbolizing humanity's spiritual lack and indebtedness. Jesus, implicitly referred to as the true bridegroom, addresses this shame and debt. His response to Mary, "My hour has not yet come," points to His death, resurrection, and ascension, which bring true salvation.

The new covenant offers an open door for everyone, with no special privileges. The six stone water jars for Jewish purification rites, which only cleanse externally, fall short of perfection. Jesus filling these jars with water and turning it into the best wine for last signifies a profound transformation. This transformation indicates that the new covenant cleanses from the inside, addressing the heart's stony nature. This "level seven cleansing" leads to enjoying communion with God forever, not just occasionally. The "third day" mentioned in the text points to resurrection, symbolizing the defeat of death, the last enemy, allowing for eternal joy and communion.
