Are you looking for signs or for the Love they point to?

Morning: Psalms 117, 118; Isaiah 59:15-21; Revelation 2:8-17

Evening: Psalms 112, 113; John 4:46-54

Jesus performs ‘signs’; people want him with them because they want more ‘signs’ (or miracles). But the signs are only pointers. Did you ever play a game where you had to solve clues that would lead you to a secret or a treasure? I so love cryptic crossword clues, though, that I am sometimes disappointed when I have solved the crossword! Jesus’s signs are not important in themselves, only as they point to the Love at work in him ... The signs are less about how great he is than they are about how great is his Love for us.
