What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Did Jesus make alcoholic wine?"
Answer
No, Jesus did not produce alcoholic wine. The wine he created at the wedding in Cana was pure, unfermented, and corresponded to fresh grape juice. Since Christ himself had prohibited the use of intoxicating drinks, he would not have contradicted his own teachings by offering wine that confuses the senses.
The nature of the wine created by Christ
»The wine that Christ created at the wedding feast in Galilee was the finest wine the attendees had ever tasted. But it was completely free of any fermentation. Christ himself had prohibited the use of fermented drinks and said: “You and your sons with you shall not drink wine nor strong drink when you go into the tabernacle, so that you may not die; this shall be an everlasting ordinance for your generations.”«
»Jesus did not touch the water in the jars. He simply looked at it, and instantly it became like wine, fresh from the grape. ... But on the occasion of the wedding feast He performed a miracle to show that marriage from God is not forbidden.«
»Fermented alcohol confuses the senses and corrupts the being's powers. God is dishonored when people do not have enough respect for themselves to practice strict moderation. Fermented wine is not a natural product. The Lord never made it, and He has nothing to do with its production.«
»Christ did not contradict His own teaching. The unfermented wine that He provided for the wedding guests was a healthy and refreshing drink. Its effect was to bring the taste into harmony with a healthy appetite.«
»The wine that Christ prepared for the feast, and the one He gave to the disciples as a symbol of His own blood, was the pure juice of the grape. This is what the prophet Isaiah refers to when he speaks of the new wine “in the grape” and says: “Do not spoil it; for there is a blessing in it.”«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
