The Miracles of Jesus

 by Matt Slick

Jesus is the most important and significant person in all of human history.  He was a remarkable man, incredibly kind, very insightful, and taught on love and forgiveness on such a level as to make all other teachers pale by comparison.

In Christianity, Jesus is the creator (John 1:1-3,14; Col. 1:16-17), God in flesh (John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9), the Lord to whom we call (1 Cor. 1:2), the one who bore our sins in His body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24), and the one who enables all who call upon His name (Rom. 10:13) to be saved by faith (Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9).

Following is a partial list of the miracles of Jesus.  It is these miracles that attest to who Jesus is because His remarkable deeds confirm His incredible claim to be God in flesh, the only way to salvation.
