“But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.”
–John 10:38
The healings Jesus performed boldly attest to his claim to be God. When we read about them, as recorded in the Gospels, we cannot doubt their supernatural flavor. A normal person cannot give sight to someone who has been blind from birth. I cannot raise a dead person, it’s simply not in the realm of even remote possibility.
Jesus performed hundreds and hundreds of healings, many not recorded in the Scriptures except through a vague and veiled reference to them. There were not just healings, but he also did miracles over natural laws. Water turned into wine, walking on the Sea of Galilee, feeding 5000 people with a little boys simple lunch.
You would think that the presentation of each miracle would bring a person to faith. But that is not the case. We assimilate them, and then process them to the point where we can nullify them. “Sure Jesus raised a widow’s son from the dead,” we say— but we inoculate ourselves against the truth of it. We deafen ourselves, and silence the miracle. We roll right over it. How many miracles have we seen on any given day?
I need, I must re-visit these supernatural events again and again. They are a tonic to my jaded soul. These miracles require that I pick them up by their handle and make them my own. Jesus Christ is waiting for us to accept him as supernatural, because that is what he is. Does your Jesus work miracles?
“Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,”–Psalm 105:5
