Miracles Performed by Jesus

When you look at the miracles performed by Jesus during his time on earth how can you question that he was the Messiah? Jesus performed so many miracles during his three-year ministry which makes it rather difficult to just choose a couple to speak about for this assignment. The basis of the miracles really depended on a person’s faith in Jesus before and after being healed. This is still a very important life lesson we as people of Christ need to continue to remember. Though it is easy to stray away from the faith in Christ and prayer, as the disciples witnessed hands on, we must constantly have a relationship with God to seek guidance in those troubled times. As a group we each decided to pick two miracles of Jesus’ ministry that stood out to us and had a lasting impression on the people experiencing them, the disciples, and ourselves.

When you look at the woman with the issue of blood, which can be found in Matthew 9:18-26, Mark 5:21- 34 and Luke 8:41-56, you can’t but be moved by this story of tremendous faith. This woman had such a strong belief in Jesus Christ that she literally crawled through a crowd to touch him. She truly believed in her total being that touching him would end years of suffering. Wow!

He states that the disciples in the boat only a few miles out onto the lake saw Jesus and took him into the boat. Immediately after Jesus stepped foot in the boat they were on the shore of Capernaum. Regardless if the miracle was arriving safely or immediately after Jesus stepped into their boat it is nothing short of one.

CONCLUSION

Throughout not only the Synoptic Gospels but also John’s variation of the life of Jesus he is shown performing many miracles. We were able to decide on ones we thought impact us most. From his healing miracles to raising the dead and showing his extreme power over nature we learn Jesus is nothing but the prophesized Messiah.
