What Is The Purpose Of God’s Miracles?
Usually miracles help someone in need. But the meaning is always deeper: God gets our attention so that we are invited to look beyond the event to a Miracle Worker. Clearly if the purpose of Christ’s miracles was only to help someone in need, thousands more would have been healed etc. The simple fact is this: The primary purpose of the miracles was to authenticate the message of Christ and the apostles. Today, it is the same. When someone in a family gets a miracle the entire family is confronted with the opportunity to believe, that God intervened and worship Him and furthermore accept Him as their Lord and Savior. This was the story that happened over and over again through out the Bible.
