And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
He told him, 'Everyone serves the good wine first, and then when people have had plenty to drink, they bring out the cheaper stuff. But you've saved the best wine for last.'
Jesus doesn't just meet expectations, he saves the best for when you need it most.
