Saving The Best For Last

John 2:1-10 (NIV)
¹ On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,
² and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
³ When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
⁴ "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."
⁵ His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
⁶ Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
⁸ Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so,
⁹ and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside
¹⁰ and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

It is not by chance that there were six water jars containing water for ceremonial washing that happened to be there.  Six is the number of man.  This miracle is a foreshadowing of the new covenant that Jesus would bring in His Gospel.  The old would be changed into the new.  

The water changing into wine speaks of the grace of His Gospel replacing the Old Testament system of sacrifice and the requirements of the law.  The water used for the temporary washing on the outside to become clean is replaced with the wine of the new covenant.  This wine is not to be splashed on the outside but taken within.  Drinking this wine brings the Word of God into the heart of each believer. The resulting cleanliness is eternal. 

God did provide the best by sending His Son

Come drink all who are thirsty

And you will be satisfied
