Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 22, 2012

There are similarities between the start of John's gospel and Genesis, culminating with water into wine on the 7th day (see full text for explanation). I believe this miraculous sign reveals the glory of Jesus and says the best is yet to come.

Jesus' First Miracle Series

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
