Miracles Over Nature

Miracles Over Nature

The miracles of Jesus can be put into three primary categories: miracles of healing, miracles over nature, and miracles of casting out demons. However, the greatest miracle of Jesus was His resurrection from the dead. From now through Easter, we will take a look at the different kinds of miracles that Jesus performed and how they make a difference in our lives today.

Miracles of the Old Testament: The saints of the Old Testament talked about miracles as being, “the wonders of old.”

Miracles of the New Testament: When it comes to the New Testament, the miracles were pointing to a future day when Jesus would rule and reign on this earth – sneak previews of coming attractions.

Three Observations Concerning Miracles:

·         My first observation is that we shouldn’t think of the Bible times, either Old or New Testament, as times in which saints of God consistently did miracles.

·         The second observation I would make is that there are probably more miracles happening today than we realize.

·         The third observation I would make is that the kingdom has not fully come in this age.

Even if miracles were happening every day, the foundation of faith would still be on the death and resurrection of Jesus.

In most of these miracles over nature, there was the:
