Good Things and Real Things: the Second Sign

Second Sunday in Advent: Jesus sent from the Father as our High Priest: Hebrews 7:21 (begin with "…this one was made a priest…") – 7:28 and prayer

This was now the second sign that Jesus did when He came from Judea to Galilee." A "sign" points to something other than itself. John referred to these miracles made by Jesus as signs because he knows that among other things Jesus performed the miracles as a means for capturing people's attention so that they would listen to what He had to say. In other words the signs were advertisements for the kingdom of heaven.
