Doesn’t it seem like the more you get to know some folks, the more junk you find out about them? Folks that seem great on the outside oftentimes turn out to be a total mess. To tell the truth, this is the way most people are. What I mean is, we’ve all got a past we’re ashamed of, dark secrets we wish we could undo, habits, prejudices and hypocrisies that we don’t want anyone to see. Thing is, the more you really get to know someone, the more you find out who they really are. This is actually one of the hardest things about marriage - that you find someone you really love and then hand them an all-access pass into everything about your life, including all the darkest parts of who you are! Now, I’m not saying everyone deserves life without parole behind bars, but we’re all a mess on the inside and all capable of all kinds of darkness. This is true of any person alive: The deeper you dig, the darker it gets. Well, it’s true of everyone except one... Jesus. He’s the exception. Jesus just gets sweeter and sweeter the more you learn about Him. The more you love Him, the better He gets! One time, when Jesus was a guest at a wedding where the couple had run out of wine, Jesus made more. When the master of the banquet tasted it, he praised the groom, saying: “Hosts always bring out the best wine first, and then when everyone’s good and drunk, they serve the cheap stuff, but this groom saved the best for last!” That miracle was like a parable of who Jesus is. The deeper you go, the better He gets.
