Signs

Remember that Mel Gibson movie "Signs"?

Crop circles forming out in the field and strange sounds coming in over the radio.

We are held in suspense wondering, "What is the meaning of these signs?"

In the last few minutes of the film, we discover that aliens are attempting to take over the world.

In John 2, Jesus turns water into wine and it is not called a miracle but a "sign".

Nicodemus tells Jesus, "...no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him" (3:3)

Chapter 4 continues the theme with the healing of the official's son.

What do these signs mean?

Actually it is kinda similar to the movie.

A visitor from another place has arrived on earth.

Not to destroy but to save.

He did not come from Bethlehem or from Mary; instead Jesus tells Nicodemus that he came from heaven (3:13)

As you read, pay attention to how many times Jesus points out that he is from heaven or above.
