How do we know that Jesus performs miracles today?
Answered in 1 source
Miracles like the feeding of the 5000 point to Jesus' power, indicating that He is still actively working in the lives of His people today.
While the feeding of the 5000 was a unique event that demonstrated Jesus' authority over nature, it serves as a testament to His ongoing sovereignty and miraculous work in the world. Jesus performed miracles to reveal His glory and identity as the Son of God, and these acts of divine intervention are not confined to biblical times. Many believers testify to God's miraculous provision and guidance in their lives today, reinforcing the reality that Christ is actively involved and continues to supply grace and sufficiency. The feeding of the multitude is therefore reassurance that Christ's power remains unchanged and that He is competent to meet our every need, donning the role of shepherd who cares for His flock.
