Jesus performed mighty miracles when he was in this world.
Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Jesus. He opened the scroll, and found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to release the captives, restore sight to the blind, deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
He closed the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears - Luke 4:17-21.
Jesus introduced himself and the fact that he had arrived in full power and glory. Great things were about to be spoken and done in Israel. All miracles from God happen for a reason. They have purpose. They’re not simply reactionary works of the supernatural powers that God possesses. They are targeted with the Big Picture of God’s plan of redemption.
There are many reasons for each and every miracle that God performs. God’s miracles do not happen in a vacuum. The Lord is deeply seated into all aspects of creation, and beyond creation; therefore, his multifaceted signs, works, wonders, and miracles all have many purposes that lie within his providential control. We’re called to know and understand the miracles of Jesus, increasing our faith in God because of them. These Bible lessons on miracles will enlighten you to the principles, purposes, and great powers of God Almighty. You will trust in God like never before after a thorough study of his miracles.
Do you believe in miracles? I hope so, because all of these miracles of Jesus Christ have many witnesses. Really, if you think about it, isn’t it easy to believe in miracles if the Lord already created the universe by his word? For instance, he created man and woman, so, isn’t it natural to believe he can heal them of any disease?
Join me as we closely look at all these miracles of Jesus and bring glory to God in the process:
During his earthly ministry, Jesus Christ touched and transformed countless lives. Like other events in the life of Jesus, his miracles were documented by eyewitnesses. The four Gospels record 37 miracles of Jesus, with Mark’s Gospel recording the most.
These accounts represent only a small number of the multitudes of people who were made whole by our Savior. The closing verse of John’s Gospel explains:
Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
(John 21:25, NIV)
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:
When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him. So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. (Luke 23:8–9, ESV)
In the New Testament, three words refer to miracles:
Power (dynamis), which means mighty deed;
Sign (sēmeion), which refers to a miracle that figuratively represents something else, such as the kingdom of God;
Wonder (teras), which indicates something extraordinary.
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.
The First Miracle of Jesus
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.
Below you will find a list of the miracles of Jesus depicted in the New Testament, along with corresponding Bible passages. 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.
These signs and wonders demonstrated Christ’s
