Introduction:
While on earth, Jesus performed many unexplainable signs, wonders, and miracles that caused people to follow Him. These supernatural events were dramatic and clear evidence that Jesus was the Son of God. They were performed out of love and compassion, to strengthen people’s faith, and to prove who He was.
From turning water into wine, healing the sick, making the lame walk, bringing the dead back to life, to the miracle of salvation, Jesus made the impossible possible. These marvelous works show us that God is a miracle-working God who is still supernaturally transforming lives.
