the sign at cana

at the last house group we looked at the wedding of cana where jesus turns water into the very best wine. we were using notes that were written up by the people who wrote the studies for the bishops for the lambeth conference.

we thought a bit about what the disciples might have made of what they saw - if they would have related it to passages in the ot that talk of banquets that are about the redemption of Israel. also the significance of john using the word "sign" rather than "miracle" - a sign points to something and in john this is to jesus' glory.
