Section 12
life, the human, created life, is an inferior life; the best life is the second life, the divine and ever lasting one. This life is the best because it is the life of God Himself in Christ. So, our pleasure will last forever and ever. We have everlasting en joyment, for Christ has translated us from death into life (5:24). He, as our everlasting, eternal life, can maintain our pleasures and enjoyment forever and ever. A new marriage feast began when we were saved, and it will never end. There is always joy within, and there is always a marriage feast within, because we have the divine wine, which is the divine life—the Lord Himself (11:25).
We all have had this kind of experience. Be fore we were saved, we were waterpots filled with death water. One day we said, "Lord Jesus," and He came and changed our death water into life. Regardless of the kind of death situation we might be in, if we turn our case over to the Lord Jesus, He will change that death into life. For example, even Christian husbands and wives may reach a point in their married life when the life runs out of their marriage. It seems that they are unable to go on in their married life. However, if they open to the Lord Jesus, He will change that death into life. In many marriages the Lord has changed death water into life wine.
