How people related sign to reality

Mary (vs 3–5) glimpsed a different reality in Jesus.

The wine steward (vs 9,10) recognised the evidence of the reality.

The disciples (v 11) responded to the reality that enabled the sign.

How do we respond to the reality of God at work?

• Alert to what God is doing– perhaps in surprising or unexpected ways

• Belief in the reality of the one who does these things

• Transformed lives (20:31b)• Transformed by whom?• He who can do ‘far more than you could ever

imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams’ (Ephesians 3:20,21, The Message).
