“Miracles?” Slide 1   Our Lord challenged believers and unbelievers as to who he was. He asked the Pharisees (Matthew 22) and his disciples (Matthew 16).

The Miracles of Jesus – His Works While he was still speaking, someone from the synagogue ruler's house came and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher any longer.“ But when Jesus heard this, he told him, "Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.“ Now when he came to the house, Jesus did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, and James, and the child's father and mother. Now they were all wailing and mourning for her, but he said, "Stop your weeping; she is not dead but asleep."And they began making fun of him, because they knew that she was dead.

Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them to tell no one what had happened. Luke 8 : 49 - 56

The Miracles of Jesus – His Works Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with His disciples. Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke Him up, shouting, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" Jesus responded, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then He got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. Matthew 8:23 -26
