Water to Wine and 1st Temple Cleansing (Part 2)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the significance of Jesus turning water into wine and cleansing the temple in John chapter 2. He contrasts being filled with wine and being filled with the Spirit, stating that while wine may change our mood, being filled with the Spirit has a spiritual impact. Gregg explains how Jesus' actions in the temple reveal his zeal for God and are an illustration of the true vine, through whom the true fruit of the Spirit comes. The talk also touches on appropriate anger and the cryptic comment Jesus made about the destruction of the temple.
