Application Every time Jesus did a miracle he would tell them not to tell anyone or just show others what he has done. When he got over crowded he would leave and go somewhere else. The Miracles were great it showed his power, who he was, where his authority came from. BUT This was not Jesus' purpose his purpose was to come to earth proclaim the gospel, set up his church, and more importantly fulfill the price of Sin How about us, get caught up with all these great works but are we doing the primary reason why God has put us here which is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with all we meet. Jesus was more interested in Spreading the message of Repentance and Remission of Sin than performing miracles which were only physical to portray what Jesus is truly all about
