The best wine is always served first.
Then after the guests have had plenty, the other wine is served.
But you have kept the best until last! (John 2:10 CEV).

The Lord Jesus is exactly like the Father. He said in John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.” He is the full icon of the Father; the express image of His person (Hebrews 1:3); thus the things He did are indicative of the Father’s character. So, for Him to have chosen to bring out the best wine at the end, rather than at the beginning or middle of the ceremony as read in the opening scripture is very instructive, It lets us know that sometimes, the Lord could reserve the best for last. Bringing this home, the Lord could choose to reserve the blessing and impartation of the Spirit you’re meant to receive during a church service or meeting till the end of that meeting. Usually, in the House of God, people come to receive the Word but oftentimes, you see two groups of folks. The one are those who hardly wait for the service to end before they’re gone. As soon as they think the preacher is done, they’re out, always in a hurry.
The second group are those who come early and stay right through till the end of the service. Sometimes, the Word that someone in the first group needs to change his situation just might come right at the end of the service, or during the benediction, but he’s already gone, hence he misses his hour of visitation.
One of the things you need to learn when you go to church is to wait until the service doses. It pays to be patient! Know that the Lord may not always do things in the way we expect Him to. It’s better to discipline yourself to stay in the Lord’s presence and never be in a hurry to leave, for that’s just when your much anticipated Word of blessing and miracle may come to you. He is God, and it’s up to Him how He wants to accomplish His work. Your part is to be patient and be in the right place at the right time. That way, you’ll never miss out on God’s best for you, for He sometimes saves the best for last.
