Introduction
According to the canonical Gospels, Jesus worked many miracles in the course of his ministry, which may be categorized into cures, exorcisms, control over nature, power over death and various others.
Miracles may very well be considered a thing of the past, however, the miracles of Jesus Christ as illustrated in the Bible attest to the significance of His physical presence while on earth. The miracles He performed were not restricted to those who only needed His very special touch to be healed or desired to be fed but were used to teach His followers the love God had for his people. Today, those same miracles can be used as lessons from which our lives should be guided as God remains the perennial symbol of hope.

    A well-known miracle in The Bible is when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. As Jesus and his disciples were traveling to Judea, they arrived in a town called Bethany. A woman named Martha approached Christ and explained to him that her brother, Lazarus, has been dead for four days. Christ reassures Martha that he is “the resurrection and the life” (“Raising of Lazarus”) and can perform unimaginable miracles. Jesus followed Martha back to Lazarus’s body, and he orders Lazarus to rise.…

    Healing of the Lame Man: Jesus went up to Jerusalem during the time of a feast "and a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years." Jesus asked the man will thou be made whole? The lame man replied that he had no one to put into the pool when the water was troubled. "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked." This sign miracle shows the deity of Christ because Jesus has power over time and the ability to heal all manner of sickness and…

    The Gospel of John’s main theme is to show people ultimately Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God and everyone that believes in Him will have everlasting life. John 3: 16 “For God so love the world He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed on Him shall have everlasting life”. John 20: 31, "Jesus performed miraculous signs before his disciples, which are not all recorded in this book. "The scripture is written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." Culpeper lists eight miracles in the Gospel of John of which six are found only in the gospel of John. Culpeper emphasizes the uniqueness of the gospel of John; John does not list the genealogy, birth,…

    If you had to define the word miracle how would you define it, do you even believe miracles to be true? I know that myself surely believes in them. This whole world is too amazing not to believe. The word miracle and meaning behind it is something I have never dove deep into and have never really questioned so, after reading chapters eight and chapter nine in Faith& Reflection and seeing two different definitions of what John Locke and David Hume think a miracle is to them, I definitely have two new views on the definition of a miracle and I am very eager to share my thoughts with you.…

    “[Miracles] would not…answer any useful purpose.” said Thomas Paine, author of “Common Sense.” In Paine’s mind, miracles were out of the question because Christ would be degrading Himself and nature would have to change its natural order to accommodate Jesus. Perhaps, Paine could be considered a bit of a snob. Jesus walked the earth long before Paine’s time and had to use example from that time period to help people understand much like how Paine had to examples from the war in his paper to stir people to action. Christ used miracles in the culture He was in to help people trust him.…

    1. According to John Mackie, a miracle is an extraordinary event that’s conclusion is evidence of God’s existence and action within reality. For the event to be called a miracle, there are two requirements needed: a supernatural intervention to cause a violation of the natural world and for the event to have believably occurred, even if low certainty. This is a response to David Hume’s definition of a miracle as an impossible violation of laws. While Hume argue that miracles cannot be unless it can be reinterpreted within natural laws, Mackie state that with a purposeful intrusion from God allows for miracles to happen. Had someone died and came back to life hours later, Hume would state that person wasn’t died and his internal system took…

    Mark portrays Jesus as a powerful yet unrecognized and suffering Messiah. Stories throughout the gospel show Jesus to have control over storms, water and demons. He is able to heal lepers, cripples and people with withered limps. He also has undaunted authority over everything including sin and Sabbath laws. Yet the theme of the messianic secret is major within this gospel. Jesus often tells people "to tell no one" of the miracles he performs. This theme is part of the climax of Mark 's gospel when Peter proclaims that Jesus is Christ and Jesus responds by giving him strict orders to tell no one. He therefore is the unrecognized Messiah. Mark wrote his gospel to a suffering and fearful faith community. He wrote to inspire faith in them. That is why Mark emphasizes Jesus ' suffering to his readers so that they can relate and see that there is no glory without suffering. He therefore shows that in order to have true dominance one must first encounter suffering, just as Jesus had.…

    Mrs. Eddy was a student-associate of Mr. Quimby until his death in 1866. Initially, her health improved under his care, but later she suffered a relapse. Shortly afterwards, she fell on an icy sidewalk and severely injured herself. Some did not expect her to survive. On what she believed to her deathbed, she read one of Jesus’ healings and suddenly realized that healing comes not from internal bodily processes, or from the power of a person’s mind, but from the Divine Mind, God. She was instantly cured.…

    Jesus heals, since health and healing are God’s gift. The man who was healed at Bethsatha understood what had been done for him; the only place to respond was in the Temple – God’s house. But just as God is the giver of health and healing, he is also the giver of life – even eternal life. This too is only in God’s gift – though it is a boon the whole world longs for – and it is only through the Son that we shall receive…
