But you have kept the fine wine until now. Jn 2:10

Most Biblical scholars believe the author of the Gospel of John paralelled the days of creation in Genesis with the events in the gospel. For example, on day three in Gen 1:1 "God said: Let the earth sprout vegetation,plants yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed each according to its kind on earth,and it was so." It is recorded by John in the second chapter of the gospel that on the "third day" Jesus turned water into wine. The miracle of turning water into wine was Jesus first recorded miracle,and through this act Jesus the Son of God began recreating. Eventhough the first creation is spectacular and has provided everything in the known world including "trees with seed after their kind" it does not compare to the new world Christ is creating in the lives of sons and daughters of God.
