The Miracles of Jesus Christ

30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life

through his name.John 20:30-31June 28, 2012

The Purpose of the Miracles of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ has compassion for people. Matthew 20:34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and

touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

The Purpose of the Miracles of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ has the power to defeat demons. Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God,

then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

The Purpose of the Miracles of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ has the authority to forgive our sins.

Mark 2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the

palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

Jesus Is The Resurrection

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and

the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Jesus Raises the Widow’s Son

Luke 7:11-17 Luke 7:14-16 14 And he came and touched the bier: and they

that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.

16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.

Jesus Raises Jairus’ Daughter

Matthew 9:18-19, 23-25 Matthew 9:24-26 24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is

not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

Jesus Raises Himself

Matthew 28:5-7 5 And the angel answered and said unto the

women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Peter Raises Dorcas

Acts 9:36-43 Acts 9:40-42 40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and

prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

Paul Raises the Young Man

Acts 20:7-12 Acts 20:9-12 9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named

Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
