Recorded accounts in the Gospels, such as the miraculous catch of fish in Luke 5:1-11, affirm Christ's divine authority and power.
The Gospels provide numerous accounts of Jesus performing miracles, demonstrating His authority over nature, sickness, and the spiritual realm. In the account of Luke 5:1-11, Jesus commands Simon Peter to let down his nets after a fruitless night of fishing. Despite Peter's doubts, he obeys Jesus's word and is rewarded with a miraculous catch of fish, signifying Jesus's divine power over creation. Miracles like these serve not only to establish Jesus's authority but also as acts of grace, revealing His care for humanity and foreshadowing the greater work of salvation through His death and resurrection. These accounts reinforce faith in Jesus as the Messiah, affirming His divinity and sovereignty.
