There is an old rabbinical legend that illustrates how a Jesus sign can fulfill your life. It goes something like this: “When Joseph was Prime Minister to Pharaoh, during the seven years of famine, he emptied the chaff of his granaries into the Nile River. It floated far away on the moving current, and the people on the banks at a great distance below saw it. It was only chaff, but it meant that there was corn in plenty elsewhere.” When the hungry saw the floating chaff, they were sure that if their strength held out, and they could reach the point at which the chaff was thrown into the river they would find plenty to nourish their life.1
Floating chaff was a sign to a hungry people that abundance was close. Signs are indicators. They are pointers of something up ahead — locater’s you could say. People who are traveling and lost are grateful for signs. In John’s gospels, the miracles of Jesus are signs that testify to who He is. They witness to His mission to save humanity and are distinct reasons to believe in Him. Today, we focus on the very first of Jesus signs at a wedding of all places.
