What is the eighth sign in John's Gospel and what does it signify?
John's Gospel records eight signs, and all are miracles. The eighth sign is the miracle in the last chapter, occurring after the seven signs before Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. This eighth sign signifies new beginnings, completing the eight signs John records.
Les teaches that John's Gospel contains eight signs, and all eight are miracles. Seven of those signs took place before Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, which completed all that had to be done. The eighth sign is the miracle in the last chapter of John, and Les identifies it as the sign of new beginnings. He points out that this theme of new beginnings is seen all through Scripture. Les then says he will look at the first seven signs and afterward take another look at the eighth one.
