J. P. Moreland said, “The New Testament writers say, ‘These things were not done in a corner [Acts 26:26], they were done in public, and you know,’ they say to their audience, ‘that these things really happened.’ Why that is so important is this, when it comes to the New Testament, the miracles of Jesus are actually signs that He was who He claimed to be. Jesus repeatedly said, ‘Don’t believe Me because of my words. Don’t believe Me because I say I’m a prophet from God or that I’m His Son. Believe Me because the signs I do simply can’t be explained if I’m simply a man.’ ” Why would Jesus appeal to miracles as evidence of the truth of His claims?
-
He appeals to the miracles so that people would be aware of His divinity which could not exist if he was just a man or a prophet.
-
No man could repeat the miracles performed by JESUS.The miracles performed by JESUS were acts of GOD!!!Proving by his GODLY power that he is the son of GOD…
-
Humans like proof. Jesus’ miracles backed up His claims as being one with God.
-
It proves Jesus is speaking truth with evidence of his miracles. People could see Jesus perform his miracles publicly.
-
There is no way Jesus could have healed the blind, sicknesses, or raise someone from the dead if He was not God. No one on earth before or since has been able to do those things. Jesus, our Creator, had power over all of Creation as He lived on earth as fully God and fully man.
