Saving the Best For Last

Most hosts set out the good liquor until their guests starting getting drunk and then they commence to serving the watered down and inferior junk but when Jesus turned that sacred water into a fine wine the guests remarked to the host, "you saved the best for last this time" As a child I heard one of the last speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King It went simply by the title of "I Have a Dream" I was too young to comprehend that a historical moment had passed but somehow I knew that Dr. King has saved the best for last Over the course of time God sent many prophets, rulers and kings to deliver His "Good News" and explain to the people what it means from Abraham to Isaac, from Jeremiah to Malachi all men sent to give us the Word from the Kingdom up on high from Solomon to David to Daniel in the lion's den God realized that He could not rely on the words coming from mere men The Holy Spirit then descended on Mary and the die had been cast when He finally sent His earthly son, Jesus of Christ at last God needed a sinless soul to help mankind understand that the Word of God is the ultimate life living plan God needed an open mind to relate the parables and the stories that in order to reach the Kingdom you must learn to give God all the glory God needed a pure heart to demonstrate true compassion and care and communicate to mankind that loving each other will draw Him near and after all was said and done when the Son of Man did pass we have finally come to realize that God saved the best for last for God will shake you up in order to wake you up God will knock you down in order to turn you around He will put you in a place where you will see the power of his grace Jesus of Nazareth was God's only begotten son His life and death was the sacrifice so that the victory could be won He was the last messenger sent to give us God's gospel He was that perfect being sent to do the impossible He was a miracle maker and a spiritual awaker His life and purpose for being was to offer mankind salvation His mission was for God and mankind to have reconciliation His death a crucifixion, an assassination, the ultimate and final task and like Dr. King, the Lord God knew to save the best for last
