Miracles Of Jesus

Christians are a miracle-believing people. All existence is due to a series of divine miracles, and some are extraordinary miracles. What lessons can we learn from the miracles that Jesus performed?

A Leper

What did Jesus say when healing a leper?

“Jesus said to him, ‘Don’t say anything to anyone. Instead, go and show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded. This will be a testimony to them.’ ” (Matthew 8:4 CEB)

Centurion’s Servant

When a Roman centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant, what did he say?

“I have officers who give orders to me, and I have soldiers who take orders from me. I can say to one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I can say to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I can say to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he will do it. When Jesus heard this, he was so surprised that he turned and said to the crowd following him, ‘I tell you in all of Israel I've never found anyone with this much faith!’ ” (Matthew 8:9-10 CEV)

Heals Many

What prophecy did Jesus fulfill by healing many?

“This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.’ ” (Matthew 8:17 ESV cf. Isaiah 53:4)

Heals a Paralytic

Does Jesus know people’s thoughts? Does Jesus forgive sins?

“And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.” (Matthew 9:4-6 KJV)

Blind Men Healed

“Then He touched their eyes, saying, ‘It shall be done for you according to your faith.’ ” (Matthew 9:27-31 NASB)

A Mute Speaks

People were amazed when a mute began to talk.

“And the multitudes marveled, saying, ‘It was never seen like this in Israel!’ ” (Matthew 9:33b NKJV)

Sabbath Healing

When the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus for healing a man on the Sabbath, He shamed them.

“If you had a sheep that fell into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn’t you work to pull it out? Of course you would. And how much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Yes, the law permits a person to do good on the Sabbath.” (Matthew 12:11b-12 NLT)

Wind and Waves

Why did Jesus rebuke the disciples for THEIR lack of faith?

“He said to them, ‘Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?’ Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm. The men marveled, saying, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?’ ” (Matthew 8:26-27 WEB)

Demon-Possessed Healed

Jesus didn’t mess with demons but told them to go away.

“Then he said to the demons, ‘Go away,’ and they came out and went into the pigs. The whole herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.” (Matthew 8:32 CEB)

“Jesus turned. He saw the woman and said, ‘Don't worry! You are now healed because of your faith.’ At that moment she was healed.” (Matthew 9:22 CEV)

Life Restored

People mocked Jesus, just as people mock modern believers. What did He say to the noisy mourners?

Walks on Water

What are two things that Jesus said during a miraculous calming of the wind on Lake Galilee? Is He saying something similar to us, that we should not be afraid?
