As you read through the gospel of John, every time he mentions a SIGN,
it points to the belief of some and the unbelief of others.
This particular sign or miracle involves a nobleman,
a high ranking public official, associated with a wicked king, he is
not the likeliest candidate in which to find faith. Yet, in him we find a
sincere faith. His faith stands in stark contrast to the crowds in
Galilee who gather to welcome Jesus as he returns from Jerusalem, but in
them we find a superficial faith.
As we look carefully at this
miracle, it makes a sharp distinction between superficial faith and
sincere faith, and we need to allow it to speak to our lives, that it
might expose what kind of faith we have, and that it might take us
deeper in our faith as it reveals Jesus to us in a greater way.
