Sermon Series: Give Me a Sign! (Gospel of John) We are continuing our series in John's Gospel about the signs and wonders Jesus performed. Today I want to talk to you about the fourth sign, when Jesus fed 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two small fish. This miracle is one of the most well-known of those performed by Jesus.
Sermon Series: Give Me a Sign! (Gospel of John) We are continuing our series in John's Gospel about the signs and wonders Jesus performed. Today I want to talk to you about the third sign, when Jesus healed the invalid man at the pool at Bethesda.
The bible tells us the purpose of the signs from Jesus. Here in John 20:31 we are told, “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” Sermon Series: Give Me a Sign! (Gospel of John) Last week Melanie and I were able to have time with our granddaughter who is six. She enjoys dot to dot pictures. She did simple pictures and Melanie did more complicated ones. Sometimes even before you join the dots you can see what the picture is, but often the picture is obscured until you start joining the dots. Believing in Jesus, faith in him, is a bit like connecting the dots. Some people looking at his signs only saw the dot they were focused on. Others were able to see beyond the dot to the big picture and what it revealed about Jesus.
