John 2:1-25

Towards the end of the first chapter, John identified Jesus as ‘the Lamb of God’ (v.36), ‘the Messiah’ (v.41), ‘the Son of God’ and ‘the King of Israel’ (v.49). In the second chapter John continues to point us towards Jesus’ messianic character through a series of ‘signs.’ Rather than simply being a display of power, these signs identify who Jesus is and what he came to do.
