“And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.”
John 2:6 KJV
Nearby stood six stone water pots meant to be used for the Jewish washing rituals. Each one could hold about twenty gallons or more. This was an outward purification (baptism) for worshippers coming into a synagogue. Six is the number for man, for man was made on the sixth day. These six stone jars could represent man’s method of helping others. It is nothing but water. But Jesus changes the water of the Word of God into the wine of the Spirit. True spiritual life can fill our vessel as we bring joy to the world. The fruit of the Spirit includes joy, and there is no limit to the joy available for the child of God. God wants the inward purification in our hearts which the Holy Spirit brings when we sincerely ask Him to change us. Thank You Holy Spirit!
