Is it ironic that...

Jesus was asked by a father to keep his son from dying (John 4:46-54) while Jesus knew that God the Father had sent Him to die for mankind. (In John 2:19-22 Jesus knew He was sent to die.) My lesson is that this second sign by Jesus draws attention to the love of "God the Father" for mankind. Whether it's believed as reality or fiction, I am wondering if I can say it is taught by "Irony"? Or this sign is an ironical situation?
