John 20:30-31
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Lately I have been studying the miracles of the Lord Jesus Christ. Noah Webster in his dictionary of the English language says a miracle is,
"1. Literally, a wonder or wonderful thing; but appropriately,
2. In theology, an event or effect contrary to the established constitution and course of things, or a deviation from the known laws of nature; a supernatural event. Miracles can be wrought only by Almighty power, as when Christ healed lepers, saying, 'I will, be thou clean," or calmed the tempest, "Peace, be still.'"
The most important question a person could ever ask, and one that every person must ask is, "What must I do to be saved?"
Acts 16:30-31
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Salvation is by grace through faith
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Faith comes by the hearing of God's Word
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
So, I want to thoroughly study the miracles that I may share them with others and so "ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. "
For my studying of the miracles I produced a chart on Word, but unfortunately the chart won't transfer to a blog. The chart records a harmony of Jesus' miracles; showing which Gospel says what about which miracle. Since I can't copy and paste the chart I will put the miracles in list form.
Read through the small titles I put on the miracles. I'm sure that you've heard of many of them, but if you have a moment, take a Bible and read through some of the references. While you're reading it, remember that these are actual historical events and remember that Jesus literally performed miracles. Wow. The Creator of the universe became flesh (John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:13-17, Hebrews 1:2) and His name is Jesus, Immanuel (God with us). He did miracles that were "contrary to the established constitution and course of things;" the wonders He did deviated "from the known laws of nature," and what we have recorded in the Bible truly are "supernatural event[s]."
