Читать книгу Miracles Beyond Our Comprehension - A. M. Deigloriam - Страница 11

Jesus blessed His people with many miracles for many reasons. He revealed His compassion and mercy with many miracles that were related to the healing of infirmities that people were suffering with for many years. Chief among these reasons for these miracles was the training of the twelve disciples. The disciples had to learn that faith in God was the source for power in accomplishing great tasks.

Jesus conducted hundreds if not thousands of miracles during a three year period, but only a few were recorded as outlined below. Many people received the mercy of Jesus as he healed them of their many health issues, demon possession, and other spiritual issues. However, there were five distinct instances where Jesus offended Jewish law by healing people on the Sabbath. Those miracles were of mercy and included healing a man of palsy, a withered hand, blindness, dropsy, and a woman with an infirmity for over 18 years. One could make the point the Pharisees were acting faithfully in accordance with their theoretical views by finding fault with Jesus, but they made no allowance for mercy for those in need on the Sabbath.

The more we understand who God is and comprehend His love, power, presence, the more credible the miracles become. These miracles express God’s beauty, truth, and goodness that lives within our beings that needs to be expressed through us on a daily basis.
