Miracle
Unexplainable healing, the dead raised to life, the sun standing still,
strange encounters with supernatural beings, wonders in the sky and other
unsolved mysteries - are events like these miracles, coincidences or merely
hoaxes? Miracles are occurrences in the physical world that have no natural
explanation. Their cause is either still unknown to science or ascribed
to the powers of the supernatural. The Bible is filled with stories of
miracles performed by God through human beings. God used people to accomplish
his purposes (such as parting the Red Sea to bring the Israelites out
of Egypt), demonstrate his character (such as sending Jonah to the Ninevites
by way of a great fish) and help people believe in him (such as the disciples'
ability to heal the sick).
But
the greatest miracle worker was Jesus. He said to his disciples, "
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me;
or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves" (John
14:11).
