The Book Of John | The 7 "Signs" And The 7 "I AM's" Of Jesus

DAY 2 OF 7

“Healing the Royal Official’s Son in Capernaum”

In John, there are paired and linked together 7 “Signs” from Jesus, and also 7 “I AM” sayings. John did this to show that not only did Jesus perform the miracles of Elisha, and better, but he also affirmed himself as God, and as the I AM of the Old Testament (Ex. 3:14).

Notice as you read, the comparison that takes place between how Elisha raised to life the Shunammite boy, and how Jesus heals the Royal Official’s Son. It is clear, that in the same way Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit for ministry, Jesus came with an even more than doubled-portion of the spirit that was upon Elisha.

The healing of the Official’s son is known as the Second Sign of Jesus. Though John in Chapter 21:25 states that Jesus did so many miracles and wonders that not even the whole of human writing can contain its stories, John very intentionally includes these seven “Sign-Miracles” to communicate to us, the reader exactly who Jesus is.
