Jesus miracles fall into four categories:

Control over nature.

Healings.

Exorcisms.

Resurrections.

Miracles are more than they are cracked up to be, but probably less than we often make of them.

The New Testament miracles do not serve so much to prove there is a God, but that the Lord is God, and we are not.

Miracles are the bright explosions of the violent spiritual campaign against evil.

What if the miracles in the Bible are not God trying to convince us he’s “up there somewhere,” looming out there in heaven and trying on earth to get us to acknowledge him, but are actually God showing us that he is right here and right now in charge?

Miracle: A supernatural act of God that glorifies Jesus.

The miracles are acts of heavenly normalization, which is to say they are isolated snapshots of the transformation of the broken world to the way it will someday be.

Because the miracles are acts of heavenly normalization, they are acts of revolutionary subversion against the corrupt course of the world and the realm of the Evil One.

The miracles point to Jesus Christ himself as the source and summation of the three acts above.

Some questions to ponder:

Do you believe in miracles?

What do Jesus’s miracles teach you about him?

Do you need a miracle today?
