THE MIRACLES OF JESUS
Do not believe Me unless I do what My Father does.
But if I do it, even though you do not believe Me,
believe the miracles, that you may know and understand
that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.
John 10:37-38
The birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was the greatest miracle in the New Testament. Jesus was sent to earth on assignment from His Father, the Almighty God. Not only was Jesus a miracle, He also performed miracles, just as He saw His Father perform miracles.
In the Gospel of John, the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because He performed a miracle on the sabbath, and also because He said that He was the Son of God.
As it is written:
John 5:18
18 Therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.
In His defense, Jesus spoke these words to the Jews that wanted to kill Him.
As it is written:
John 5:19-20
19 Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does.
So, What Are Miracles?
Miracles are the impossible made possible; established by our God. Miracles reveal the sovereignty, power, and glory of our God. In other words, miracles are supernatural.
The Apostle Paul writes: By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11:3

9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, go, and he goes; and that one, come, and he comes. I say to my servant, do this, and he does it.
10 When Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those following Him, Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Which is easier: to say, your sins are forgiven, or to say, get up and walk?

1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped His feet with her hair.
3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, Lord, the one you love is sick.
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, this sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 So when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed where He was two more days,
7 and then He said to His disciples, let us go back to Judea.
8 But Rabbi, they said, a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?
9 Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light.
10 It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.
11 After He had said this, He went on to tell them, our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.
12 His disciples replied, Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.
13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
14 So then He told them plainly, Lazarus is dead,
15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.
16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, let us also go, that we may die with him.
17 On His arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

22 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.
23 Jesus said to her, your brother will rise again.
24 Martha answered, I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die;
26 and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die. Do you believe this?
27 Yes, Lord, she replied, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.
28 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. The Teacher is here, she said, and is asking for you.
29 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.
30 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village but was still at the place where Martha had met Him.
31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.
34 Where have you laid him? He asked. Come and see, Lord, they replied.
35 Jesus wept.
36 Then the Jews said, see how He loved him.
37 But some of them said, could not He who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?
Jesus Called Lazarus' Name and Lazarus Came Back to Life
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.
39 Take away the stone, He said. But, Lord, said Martha, the sister of the dead man, by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.
40 Then Jesus said, did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard Me.
42 I knew that you always hear Me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent Me.
43 When He had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out.
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, take off the grave clothes and let him go.
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in Him.
The Second Miraculous Catch of Fish
After Jesus was resurrected from the dead, Luke tells us that Jesus remained here on earth for another forty days (Acts 1:1-3). On one of those days, He appeared to some of the Apostles while they were fishing.
As it is written:
John 21:1-6
1 Afterward Jesus appeared again to His disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
3 I'm going out to fish, Simon Peter told them, and they said, we'll go with you. So, they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5 He called out to them, friends, haven't you any fish? No, they answered.
6 He said, throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.
When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Jesus did many other things as well.
If every one of them were written down,
I suppose that even the whole world would not have room
for the books that would be written.
John 21:25
