 A  Word from Pastor Garrett

From Pastor’s Desk

Do you believe in Miracles?

A miracle is an unexpected outpouring of God’s power that defies ordinary explanation

and occurs outside the bounds of natural order. Miracles in the Bible demonstrate

God’s involvement in humans’ lives. Their purpose is always to advance the kingdom of

God in some way. The miracle of Jesus’ incarnation served that very purpose. Nothing

Jesus Christ did during His earthly ministry was random. Everything He said and did

conform to the will of God (John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38; 12:49; 14:31; Luke 22:42;

Hebrews 10:5–9; cf. Psalm 40:6–8). Thus, Jesus’ miracles were meant to reveal and

advance His heavenly Father’s kingdom.

The miracles of Jesus—about 37 are recorded in the Gospels—include physical

healings, casting out demons, providing food, controlling or altering elements such as

water, wind, and rain, and raising people from the dead. All these supernatural

occurrences served a specific purpose in God’s plan of salvation for humanity.

The central purpose of Jesus’ miracles was to reveal and advance the kingdom of God

(see Matthew 12:28), but these miracles also served several other peripheral

purposes. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was turning water into wine at the

wedding feast at Cana (John 2:1–12). John called this miracle a “miraculous sign”

(verse 11). It accomplished two critical purposes: it proved Christ’s power and revealed

His glory. As a result, the disciples put their faith in Jesus.

Another purpose of Jesus’ miracles was to reveal His divine identity and authority as the

Messiah and Son of God (John 11:41–42). Jesus said, “The works that the Father has

given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent

me” (John 5:36). As Jesus performed various signs and wonders, He proved that He

was divinely endowed with power to control physical elements (Matthew 8:27),

spiritual forces (Matthew 12:28; Mark 1:34), and even life and death (Luke 7:14–15;

Matthew 9:25).

Sometimes, Jesus performed miracles in the Father’s authority (John 10:37–38), and

at other times, He acted on His own authority (Matthew 12:9–14). This revealed both

His divine nature and His participation in the Trinity (John 5:17, 19–30).

Jesus’ miracles fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about Israel’s Messiah. Matthew

writes, “That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast

out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. This fulfilled the

word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, ‘He took our sicknesses and

removed our diseases’” (Matthew 8:16–17, NLT).

When John the Baptist sent the disciples to Jesus to confirm His identity, Jesus

responded, “Go back to John and tell him what you have heard and seen—the blind

see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to

life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor” (Matthew 11:4–5, NLT). Here,

Jesus showed He was fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 61:1–2.

Another purpose of Jesus’ miracles was to validate who He is. Jesus told a group of His

enemies, “Even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know

and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father” (John 10:38). With the

healing of a paralytic, Jesus revealed His power to forgive sins; in other words, He is

God. Most of those who witnessed the miracle praised God in amazement (Mark 2:1–

12), but some remained opposed to Jesus.

Christ’s miracles also had the purpose of opening people’s hearts to receive His

message and trust Him as Savior (John 2:23–25; 11:45). John emphasized this

purpose as one of his motives for writing his Gospel: “The disciples saw Jesus do many

other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. But these are

written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,

and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name” (John 20:30–

31, NLT).

Jesus’ miracles provide dramatic evidence that He is God’s only Son, sent to be our

Savior (John 3:16–17). They show His great compassion for people (Matthew 14:14),

lifting their burdens (Matthew 11:28), healing their diseases (Matthew 4:23), and

meeting their deepest needs (Luke 8:35; John 4:10). So, another purpose of Jesus’

miracles was to show God’s love. Jesus had the power to help people, and He helped.

The apostle John asserts that Jesus performed so many miracles that most of them

were not even recorded in the Bible (John 21:25). These countless demonstrations of

God’s love and power caused people to flock to Jesus (Mark 1:32, 37, 45) where they

could hear His message, receive it by faith, accept God’s gift of salvation, and enter into

His eternal kingdom.

Let us explore this month about the miracles of Jesus in conjunction with Thanksgiving

because He is still a miracle worker
