“Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through Him” (Acts 2:22).

To a skeptical world the miracles stand as the testimony of God to the divinity of Jesus. A ruler of the Jews declared, “Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him” (John 3:2).

Scripture records approximately three-dozen miracles performed by Jesus. Their nature and scope demonstrate the powers one ex-pects from a man claiming to be God in the flesh. He turned water into wine (John 2), calmed the stormy sea (Mark 4), walked on the water (John 6), multiplied the fishes and loaves (Matthew 14), cast out demons (Mark 5) and raised the dead (John 11).

Even those seeking to find a “charge” to make against Him had to admit the validity of His miraculous deeds (John 11:47-53). The miracles of Jesus were God’s stamp of approval that declared, “This is my Son” (Matthew 3:17).

“Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:30-31).
