The Road Goes on Forever

I love the line from a country song – “The road goes on forever and the party never ends.” In spite of the not-so-spiritual story included in the song’s lyrics, I’ve long wanted to make that line biblical. It finally happened this week. Early in the public ministry of Jesus, he attended a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee. The host ran out of wine. I guess even back then, you never knew how many friends you had until your daughter got married. Nevertheless, the party was over whether the fat lady had sung or not. No more wine, no more party. Then Jesus took water and miraculously turned it into wine (John 2:1-11). I’ve preached all over that miracle story, but never realized that what Jesus actually did was keep the party going. Next time you’re having fun at a Jesus party, rejoice. That road goes on forever and that party never ends.

Join me in praying for these global concerns:
• Vacation Bible Schools (by any other name, still VBS) being held all over the world this summer.
• Pray for the upcoming 2010 Olympic ministry evangelism training sessions with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada.
• Pray for the eight couples and one single person currently raising support to go Vancouver, Canada to do church planting.
• Pray for missionary personnel from Central & Eastern Europe as they gather this week for their annual meeting.
