Thank you for your thoughts on this part of the story. I have heard this often, and I loved these thoughts you shared.

"This undoubtedly helped them ponder the words of John the Baptist as something new, something even greater must be upon them. As seen in yesterday’s Gospel of John at the Marriage Feast at Cana, as part of our pre-Lenten readings, vessels are seen having been filled with the best wine out of Christ’s love and appreciation of the matrimonial event. Thus, this passage’s concept of “new wine” is the requiring of new vessels, new hearts and minds to accommodate the fullness of Truth and Love in who the person of Jesus really is."

Jesus came to open and soften our hearts. God bless
