Here is the author's summary at the beginning of his chapter on the first sign - changing the water to wine at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee.
 

THE FIRST SIGN

Water Changed into Wine

John 2:1-11

THE PURPOSE TO ISRAEL, NATIONALLY:

To show that Israel were spiritually bereft, and that only the Son of God, their Messiah, could supply their spiritual needs and restore them to the Father.

THE MEANING TO SPIRITUAL ISRAEL:

To show that if we drink the "wine" of his doctrine, and become covered with the blood of his sacrifice, we can find joy in his service — a joy which will be fully realised at the glorious marriage supper of the Lamb.

 

God bless you,
