            There are a number of signs in the 4th gospel, but the "hour" of Jesus'
    glorification is clear: The cross. Any attempt to find glory other than
    through the cross is the work of one who "does not deserve to be called a
    theologian" (Luther). & that provides a partial answer to Bill P's query,
    "What's wrong with miracles?" in a parallel post. An emphasis on miracles is
    often - though not always - associated with false theologies of glory.
