If you did an Internet search of Jesus’ miracles, it would tell you that Jesus did 37 miracles1 that are recorded in Scripture. You know a lot of these miracles, such as walking on water, healing the blind, casting out demons, and raising the dead. Miracles are displays of God’s power and grace that prove that Jesus is the Son of God, and that His Word is true. Miracles also are signs of Jesus’ love and compassion as He sets people free from their afflictions.

There are many miracles recorded in the Gospels, but the actual number of miracles that Jesus did would be in the thousands! (Mark 3:9-10, Mark 6:56, & John 21:25)

When you think about miracles, it’s important to remember why Jesus did miracles. Jesus was not trying to entertain the people; He’s not putting on a show nor was He collecting money. Jesus works miracles to teach us that He is the Son of God on earth to do the work of salvation for us; they show us that His Word is true and trustworthy; and they are reminders of God’s individual and personal care and compassion for each of us.

AMEN
