I have been considering the story of the wedding held at Cana, recounted in the gospel of John, chapter 2. There are many striking aspects to this story to ponder. One of them is the jars. They would have been large clay containers which would have to be filled and usually held water. Those jars were empty, were filled with water and then transformed. There was a space in the centre of these jars of clay. So there are challenges in this picture:
There is another story of jars and being filled: 2 Kings 4:1-7. The poor widow who only has one jar of oil. Elisha tells her to collect more jars from friends and neighbours and to keep on pouring oil. And it kept flowing
2 Corinthians 4:7. ‘But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.’
