Consider Well

“Wine in Scripture symbolizes luxury, abundance, fatness, prosperity, joy and gladness, and feasting. It represents that which is above and beyond the necessities of life, that which makes life more than mere existence, that which gives gladness and rejoicing.

“The wine of the Lord’s supper, therefore, symbolizes the fact that Christ is not only the basic necessity of our spiritual life but the fatness and prosperity and joy of it as well.”
