John 2:11First Nations VersionThis was the first of the signs through which Creator Sets Free (Jesus) displayed his power. When his new followers saw this, their trust in him grew stronger. All of this happened in the territory of Circle of Nations (Galilee) at Village of Reeds (Cana). See the chapter |
The people began to realize what had happened. This was a powerful sign that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) had just performed. They began to wonder who this man was who could do such amazing things. Like wildfire, the hopes and dreams of many generations began to rise in their hearts and minds. They were saying to one another, “This must be the Prophet, spoken of long ago, who would come into the world!”

Instead, they are getting us ready for the great and shining beauty of the world to come, a beauty beyond comparison that will never fade away. So we set our minds not on the things we can see but on the things we cannot see.
