Today I read the story of the announcement of Samson's impending arrival in Judges, and the instruction that his mother was not only to avoid strong drink but she was also to keep away from everything grown on the vine. In contrast to this, Jesus will celebrate in heaven with us by tasting again of the juice of the fruit of the vine. My mind wonders if there is any connection between these things....telling an expectant mother to stay away from grapes, which I would have considered good for pregnant women, and the later symbolism the fruit of the vine assumed.
