Why did Christ perform miracles?

Christ's miracles served multiple purposes, primarily to reveal His divine nature as the Son of God and to attest to the power of His message. For instance, the raising of Lazarus (John 11:25-26) is not just an act of compassion; it is a powerful testament to His claim of being the resurrection and the life. Moreover, as referenced in Hebrews 2:3-4, these signs were God confirming the authenticity of the Gospel, revealing that through these acts, Jesus was underscoring His authority over death and sin. The miracles emphasized that the good news preached was not merely empty words but was powerfully validated by the works Christ performed.
