Miracle reveals Jesus as the Son of God:

  • John the Baptist, (Lk. 7:19-22).
  • Disciples themselves: (Jn. 2:11).
  • The Jews, (Jn. 2:23; Jn. 7:31).
  • Religious leaders of the Jews, (Jn. 3:3).
  • Nicodemus believed in Jesus;
  • “For no man can do these miracles that thou doest except God be with him,” (Jn. 6:2).

Miracles are signs in disciples.

  • Peter was approved of God by miracles, (Acts 3:6, 7, Acts 9: 33-35, Acts 9:37- 42, Acts 5:15:16).
  • Phillip was approved of God by miracles (Acts 8:6- 8,13).
  • Stephen was approved of God by Miracles (Acts 6:8).
  • Converts were approved of God by miracles, (Mk. 16:20).
  • Miracles confirmed the Christian gospel and assisted in the establishment of a firm foundation for the church. Everywhere the Disciples preached and healed the sick and cast out devils, multitudes turned to Christ!

“And by the hands of the Apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people, and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the Shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, Bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were HEALED EVERYONE,” (Acts 5:12-16).

  • If God gave this gift to Old Testament and New Testament Saints, why would he take this gift from today’s church?
  • (Acts 10:34), “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.”
  • The devil is still around today.
  • Old Testament Miracles
  • David said in (Psa. 103:3), “Bless the Lord . . . and forget not all His Benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.”
