Miracles illustrate God's power and compassion, pointing us to the deeper spiritual truths of His grace and redemptive plan.
Miracles performed by Jesus serve as manifestations of God's character, showcasing His compassion, power, and intention to redeem His people. For instance, the healing of the blind man in John 9 was not merely to restore physical sight but to reveal the spiritual blindness of humanity and the need for divine healing. In Matthew 9:6-7, Jesus states, 'But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,' indicating that His miracles were intended to affirm His identity as the Messiah and the source of spiritual restoration. The intention behind these miracles is to draw us closer to God, prompting faith and revealing the ultimate miracle of forgiveness through Christ, which is the heart of the gospel.
