Miracle Healings

Miracle Healings - The Biblical Record
Many people today doubt the miracle healings of Jesus mentioned in the Bible. Why? Because many people today doubt the existence of God and His power. For a Christian, it's evident that Christ's miracles are supernatural occurrences ordained by God the Father who empowered the Son to complete them for His glory. In John 14:10-13 it says, "Don't you believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father living in me who is doing his work. 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." For a believer in Jesus, this is proof of the supernatural work that made the miracles possible. Unger's Bible Dictionary defines miracles as: "supernatural manifestations of divine power in the external world, in themselves special revelations of the presence and power of God; and in connection with other special revelations to which they are subservient, as aiding in their attestation, establishment and preservation."

Here are some of the miracle healings performed by Jesus in the Bible. As you read them for yourself, remember that God is God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.

He healed the nobleman's son at Cana (John 4:46-54); He healed the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-9); He healed Peter's mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14-15; Mark 1:29-31; Luke 4:38-39); He cleansed a leper (Matthew 8:2-4; Mark 1:40-45; Luke 5:12-16); He healed a centurion's servant (Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-10); He healed a blind and mute demonic (Matthew 12:22; Luke 11:14); He healed the woman with an issue of blood (Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:25-34; Luke 8:43-48); He raised Jairus' daughter (Matthew 9:18-19,23-26; Mark 5:22-24,35-43; Luke 8:41-42,49-56); and He restored Malchus's ear (Luke 22:49-51; John 18:10).

Miracle Healings - Small Potatoes for an All-powerful God!
Miracle healings? Come on! Those are just wonderful stories promoted by a group of religious zealots. Of course, for those who deny the Creator God of the Universe and in his Son, Jesus Christ, it's easy to deny the historical veracity of Christ's miracles recorded in the Bible. However, if we get to a place where we believe in God and His absolute power to create everything we see, then miracles are no problem - they're just suspension of the natural law that He created in the first place. Once we believe in God and His ultimate power, then we have no problem believing in His Son, Jesus Christ and that he was born to a virgin, lived a perfect life, performed all the works that the scripture reveals, and died on a cross for the world paying the prince for all sin, to reconcile man back to God and bring glory to Him! God is still in control of all things and He always will be! Miracles still happen today when they fit into God's plan for the lives of those affected. God is love. Miraculously, He loves us all no matter what we have done! Each of us are "miracles" in His eyes, because he created us in his image.
