All the Signs Point to Him

Today’s reading is John 2 - 4 and is being read from the New Living Translation. 

The signs are all pointing to him. There’s the sign at the wedding feast - He turns water into wine.  And here we see the sign of the healed boy. Simply at the Word of Jesus, a boy is healed. The fever is gone, the prayer is answered. 

Christ is what all the signs are pointing to. And even at this season, when we celebrate the advent of Jesus, may these days we have lined up in front of us this Christmas week, remind us that he has made all the signs point to him.  He is our wedding feast. He’s the one who gives us wine for our water.  He’s the one that answers our deepest heart cry and offers us healing for our children.  

There are many more signs in this Gospel.  May our hearts be open to all the signs.  They are all pointing to him.  May we have eyes to see and hearts to receive.
