    According to our passage for tonight, John says that this healing of the nobleman's son was the second sign of Jesus. It was further testimony to the fact that Jesus was the Son of God.

Last week we looked at some prophecies in the Old Testament that gave us the when, where and who of Jesus’ birth. No king ...read more
