The Purpose Of Miracles

 

Today's verse is John 10:38

But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 

    What do we see here? But Jesus stating the reason he did the works that he did. The works that he did, was for the purpose of showing us his authority. Truly the were a sign that he was and is the Son of God, yea, God the Son. When they asked for a sign, refusing to accept the miracles before them, he allowed them their deception, and pointed them to the Cross. Consider, you that seek for the miracles for your own glory, what did Abraham tell the rich man as he was tormented in the flames of Hell, asking that Lazarus, be sent back to warn his brothers (a miracle, or a sign.) But what as Abraham answer? Was it not, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them? And now, we have Moses, the prophets and the Apostles, if these are not sufficient, which God hah magnified above all his Name, neither would any miracle! So, will you accept God and his Word? For faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
