These accounts represent only a small number of the multitudes of people who were made whole by the savior. The closing verse of John's Gospel explains:. The 37 miracles of Jesus Christ that were written down in the New Testament serve a specific purpose. None were performed randomly, for amusement, or for show. Each was accompanied by a message and either met a serious human need or confirmed Christ's identity and authority as the Son of God. At times Jesus refused to perform miracles because they did not fall into one of these two categories:.
In the New Testament, three words refer to miracles:. Sometimes Jesus called on God the Father when performing miracles, and at other times he acted on his own authority, revealing both the Trinity and his own divinity. When Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana, he performed his first "miraculous sign," as the Gospel writer John , called it.
This miracle, showing Jesus' supernatural control over physical elements like water , revealed his glory as the Son of God and marked the beginning of his public ministry. Some of Jesus' most astonishing miracles included raising people from the dead , restoring sight to the blind, casting out demons, healing the sick, and walking on water. All of Christ's miracles provided dramatic and clear evidence that he is the Son of God, validating his claim to the world. These supernatural acts of love and power drew people to Jesus, revealed his divine nature, opened hearts to the message of salvation , and caused many to glorify God.
So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way. Jesus cleansed ten lepers Luke Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner? Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead John The Death of Lazarus. Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light. But let us go to him. On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?
Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
Jesus wept. Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me. Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Immediately they received their sight and followed him. Jesus caused the fig tree to wither Matthew Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry.
Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Jesus restored the ear of the high priest's servant Luke And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. Jesus rose from the dead Luke He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:.
The second great haul of fishes John Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas also known as Didymus , Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
It was full of large fish, , but even with so many the net was not torn. August 10, I would like to be thought how to handle kids from children ministry in my church.
