John 21:25 – Miracles of Jesus
Listed below are the miracles of the Great Physician, Jesus, as recorded in Scripture. Being God incarnate, He performed innumerably more: John 21:25 – And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written. [Anyone looking for a good class topic to teach, pay attention!]. All one needs to do is to read each account and determine why Jesus performed it. Compassion for people, Confirming His message, Commending God, Confuting false teaching, Correcting sinful attitudes, all played a role in Jesus’ performance of the impossible. Compassion was partially and clearly, a motivating factor in most. God is love (1 John 4:8, 16)!
