Miracles
Written by: Jill Sheets, God, and the Bible
We know God does miracles all the time. Not just before we were
born, but ones after we were born and while we are here on earth. You believe
in miracles, don’t you?
Recently, I was horrified to hear someone say they did not
believe in miracles. It was bad enough that this person said that when one of
their children were sick. I was shocked. I did not know what to say. The only
thing I kept thinking was, “will I do.” I had faith that God would heal
this person. He performs miracles daily, so why not now.
If you go to church, Sunday school, bible study or if you read
the bible, you more than likely recognize these miracles. There are a lot more
in the bible, but these are some. I will try to keep these short.
Let’s start with Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding that
took place in Cana, which is in Galilee (John 2:1-11). At this wedding, the
wine ran out. Mary told Jesus what was going on about the wine. Even though
Jesus told his mom that it was not his time, she still told the servants to do
whatever Jesus asked them to. Jesus turned the water that was brought to him
into the best wine.
A lot of detail was left out, but like I promised I will try to
keep things short.
Now looking in either Luke 22:51 or John 18:10, we find another
miracle. When the guards were coming to arrest Jesus, Simon Paul took his sword
and struck Malchus taking off his ear. This was not what Jesus wanted, even
though He knew what was going to happen. He took Malchus right ear and put it
back on him.
In Luke 8:2, Jesus cast out the seven
demons that had possessed Mary Magdalene. That was not the only time he did
that. He even once removed demons from this guy and put the demons into pigs.
Grant you the pigs did have the worse end of the deal. They were the ones that
had demons inside them if that was not bad enough; they ran off the
cliff.
This next miracle that I will be talking about can be found in
Luke 5:17-39 NLV. Jesus heals a paralyzed man who was lowered down from the
rooftop on a mat. These men must have had a lot of faith in Jesus to do that
after they could not get the guy into the room because of the crowd. They carry
that man up to the roof and then to make a hole in it so that they could lower
him through.
Jesus did raise people from the dead. Even Jesus was raised from
the dead after dying on the cross, but let’s talk about him raising his friend
Lazarus from the dead in Bethany. Jesus was not in Bethany when Lazarus’
sisters sent someone to tell Jesus that his friend was sick. Instead of rushing
to heal Lazarus he stayed a few more days where he was at. He knew that his
friend had died, to make an incredible miracle short. Jesus did raise Lazarus.
I read that he lived around 30 more years or so before he passed away (https://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2013/04/what-happened-to-lazarus-after-he-rose.html).
There are many other miracles in the bible that God and Jesus
performed. Just read your bible to find out more of them.
This person did not believe in miracles, but now this person
does. Thank you, God and Jesus, for granting my prayers with this miracle.
Every time I think about that miracle, I want to cry.
Hello, credit between individuals is a financial transaction to borrow money directly from people without the intervention of a bank. Most of the time, it's done in a family or friendly environment. But recently, you can borrow from a stranger. I am willing to offer loans to anyone with the ability to repay me without worries. I will be looking forward to dealing with you if you really need credit and if it's good will.
