week7-wednesday class reflection

I remember taking a class on the Gospel of John and seeing this upheaval or replacement practice that Jesus uses in such acts as the production of wine and the meeting of the Samaritan woman at the well. The professor had made the point that Jesus was using Jewish rituals and markers, bringing them to fruition in himself, but doing so in manners that were not so “kosher”.  This allowed for the Kingdom to be opened to all.
