Making Room to Become Wine

Mark 14:22-25

What does it mean to become wine?

CRUSHED

"God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers he uses to crush us with. If God would only use his

fingers to make me broken bread and poured out wine in a spiritual way! But when he uses someone whom we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, we object. If ever we are

going to be made wine to drink, we shall have to be crushed. Grapes become wine only when they have

been squeezed. You can not drink grapes.” -Oswald Chambers
