There are 37 miracles recorded in the other three Gospels. Matthew, Mark and Luke. Why did John choose only seven for his Gospel? These aren't just the seven miracles recorded in John's Gospel. They're profound windows into the depths of God's love and the power Jesus released over every aspect of our lives.
Each of the seven miracles John writes about has a deeper symbolic meaning. And each has precious promises for for us. Miracle 2 Healing the government official's son There was a government official in nearby Capernaum who'd come to Jesus because his son was very sick. Jesus told him, go back home.
Your son will live. And the man believed what Jesus said and started home. John 4:50 while on the way home, some of his servants met him and told him his son was healed. This miracle reveals Jesus authority over illness and his ability to heal from afar. It shows that he doesn't have to be there laying hands on someone for them to be healed.
It also demonstrates the power of faith in his word. This miracle is a promise that you are never beyond God's reach to address and overcome your struggles. This is a promise that he hears you and responds to your hardships.
These seven miracles of Jesus revealed the heart of God, who was very different from the God of law the Jews had been taught about. Through Jesus, God revealed himself as a loving father who doesn't just observe our pain, but he enters it. He's there with us. He cares about us.
He loves us. A God of relationship who transforms, heals, provides, and brings us to life as, uh, his sons and daughters. These aren't just ancient stories. They're an invitation. An invitation to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the. The Messiah. And with him, nothing, absolutely nothing is impossible. John 20, 30, 31.
The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him, you will have life by the power of his name.
That is my prayer for you this day. This you will believe in him, and you will live in his power. And absolutely nothing is impossible for Christ.
