How do we know Christ's miracles signify greater truths?

The miracles of Christ are not merely acts of compassion; they serve a greater purpose by revealing His divine authority and identity as the Savior. In Matthew 8, the healing of the leper and the paralyzed servant illustrate not only Christ's power over physical ailments but also His ability to heal spiritual sickness. Each miracle points to the necessity of salvation and highlights that the true healing comes from Christ alone. This teaching emphasizes that while physical healing is significant, the greater miracle is the transforming work that Christ performs in the hearts of those He saves.
