"This beginning of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested His glory. And His disciples believed in Him" (2:11). John said "we have seen His glory" (1:14). Jesus' miracles impressed those around Him and persuaded many that He was the Messiah. The miracles were only part of His ministry; He also taught and embodied holiness and sacrifice. People listened because He healed, provided, and demonstrated His power over the physical world.

We are physical creatures, created from earth. Jesus knows this and cares about our all needs: food and shelter, finances, work, and relationships.
