2. THE MIRACLES OF JESUS THE MESSIAH: AN OVERVIEW
A. Definition
A miracle may be described as a portent, a mighty work, a sign, a wonder. It is a general term, designating also phenomena which the Holy Bible reports and which are alleged to have occurred in the history of the Christian Church. A miraculous sign demonstrates authority and provides assurance (Joshua 2:12,13), bears testimony (Isaiah 19:19,20), gives warning (Numbers 17:10) or encourages faith. Included among the Bible’s miraculous signs are many of Jesus’ acts of healing, casting out evil spirits and giving life to the dead.
