The Book of John finds its purpose statement in the twelfth chapter. It is the simple testimony that, “Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life.”2 John declares he is writing the book in order that all who read it might have an understanding that Jesus is the Christ and fully the Son of God. The desired result is that the reader may experience eternal life through Him. John clarifies that Jesus did do many more…

remembers Jesus Christ because of his extraordinary ability to work miracles. A large amount of material recorded in the Gospels center around the miracles of Jesus. These appeared only forty years after his crucifixion. Excluding the crucifixion, there is more evidence of the miracles of Jesus than any other aspect of his life. Of all these miracles, Jesus's nature miracles seem the least historical. In the Gospels, Jesus performs eight miracles that change the natural world. Often, the nature…

In the everyday world of today we see miracles all around us. Some of these miracles take by storm, while others go barely noticed. No matter how big the miracle is or how small it may be, there is no doubt who is responsible for them, “Jesus”.

Over many of the miracles that Jesus performs throughout His ministry on earth, I consider the miracles of Jesus walks on water as one of the "coolest" miracles that reveal the significance meaning of who Jesus is. This miracles recorded in three of the Gospels (Mat 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56: John 6:16-21) and it was this miracle that, more than any other, "convinced Jesus's disciples that He was indded the Son of God.

life who believe in one God. Christians believe that Jesus Christ sent to the earth to liberate the sin of human being without the exchange of any credit. Jesus performed so many miracles when he was on the earth. His miracles lead to numerous reactions between individuals. Some followers give emphasis for what he performed, and the others do not.

Jesus suffered and died for our sins. Jesus was born in Bethlehem to his parents, Mary and Joseph. He grew up in Nazareth and greatly spread the religion of Christianity. Although many people loved him, his miracles, and his teachings, many of the powerful leaders did not. Jesus was persecuted by the Romans and soon after was crucified. He later came back to life which many consider the resurrection. Jesus acted as a leader, teacher, and miracle worker revealing God’s Kingdom to the world.…

or about it. I am somewhat familiar with the miracles that Jesus performed, but that is it. I was blown away by the lecture of D. A. Carson. His knowledge and ability to recite and bounce between the Old and New Testament and weaving in John’s gospel I found amazing. I would be sitting in the front row if I was one of his students. After listening to him I can only imagine how in depth his paper would be responding to this assignment. The…
