Miracles Archives

Jesus’ deeds—especially his miracles—offer additional insights into how Jesus viewed himself.

When people came to Jesus, they believed he could heal them, so he did. But the fact remains: Regardless of how he did it, Jesus did heal them.

Simon Peter and his partners had fished all night but had caught nothing, yet at Jesus’ command their fishing nets filled with so many fish that the boats began to sink. As with all of Jesus’ miracles, this event can be understood on a deeper level.

Some skeptics prefer to dismiss the supernatural and explain away Jesus’ exorcisms as psychosomatic healings. But that explanation doesn't work.

Faith is often found in unlikely places. The Bible tells the story of a pagan woman whom Jesus commended for her great faith (Matthew 15).

These were rough seas, and Peter was willing to literally step onto them because He was looking at Jesus. That gave him confidence and courage. It went well for awhile until Peter started to sink. And why did he sink?

One question I often hear when I talk about Jesus feeding the 5000 is why there were 12 baskets full of food left over (Matthew 14:15–20).

You would think that after the miracle of casting out demons from two men who had violently oppressed them, the people would have welcomed Jesus. But that is not what happened. Instead, they wanted Him to go away. Why? It was because Jesus was bad for business.

When you read the story of the death of Lazarus (John 11:1-45), you have to ask the question, “Why did Jesus delay in coming to see Lazarus?”

The account in Matthew 14:22-33 is one of the most precious and insightful portions of God’s Word.

Leprosy was the scourge of the ancient world. Nothing evoked more fear, more dread, or more revulsion than the sight of these walking dead.
