Passage: John 2:1-11
Today, we are beginning a short series in the book of John, titled The Seven Signs. The term signs is the English translation of the Greek word semeion (σημεῖον), which is the word John used for miracle. The reason why the Apostle John placed emphasis upon signs is addressed in 20:30-31, which states...
“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the
disciples, which are not written in this book; but these
are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may
have life in his name.”
The first sign recorded in John’s gospel is the changing of water into wine during a wedding feast in Cana. By performing this sign, we are told that Jesus manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him (2:11). Let’s examine this extraordinary account together, and apply this passage to modern-day living.

- Even When Credit Seems To Be Misapplied. (9-11)
