Jesus Christ. Why should we get to know his life?
It’s good to think about the life of Jesus from the time He was born right up to his crucifixion and death. Because “if we do this without holding back, Christ's words will enter deep into our soul and will really change us." We christians "have to meditate on the life of Jesus, from His birth in a stable right up to His death and resurrection (...). For we do need to know it well, to have it in our heart and mind, so that at any time, without any book, we can close our eyes and contemplate His life, watching it like a movie (...). In this way we become involved in His life. It is not a matter of just thinking about Jesus, of recalling some scenes of His life. We must be completely involved and play a part in His life. We should follow Him as closely as Mary His Mother did, as closely as the first twelve, the holy women, the crowds that pressed about Him. If we do this without holding back, Christ's words will enter deep into our soul and will really change us." (Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, Christ is passing by, n. 107). These words, written by a holy priest who loved Christ intensely, may help us to get better acquainted with Christ's life, and so to love Him more every day.

Knowing the life of Jesus
By knowing the life of Jesus we will become more like him in our own lives. If we read and think about his life, and talk to Him, we will learn how to follow Jesus; He, then, will show us our own personal way to holiness in everyday, with our friends, family and with our study. Every Christian should know the life of Jesus, and reproduce Christ's life in his or her own life. Reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture will help us, because from Scripture we will learn how to follow Jesus; He, then, will show us the way to holiness in our ordinary life, in our family and in our work.
3
Why did Jesus do signs and miracles?
To show that great things were taking place. That He was all powerful. That He was God. Although He healed alot of people He didn’t remove all suffering, but instead to free us from the slavery of sin.
4
The Paralytic Before He healed the Paralytic, Jesus forgave his sins.
Why? Because the most important thing is our soul and then our physical illnesses and limitations.
5
Does Jesus do miracles now?
Yes. Through his Church: the Sacraments (the Grace of God) Jesus does a lot of miracles. He heals your sadness through Confession: the times we might have turned our backs on Him He builds up our desire to follow Him by giving us Communion at Mass. And many other graces through the day. Every Christian should know the life of Jesus, and reproduce Christ's life in his or her own life. Reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture will help us, because from Scripture we will learn how to follow Jesus; He, then, will show us the way to holiness in our ordinary life, in our family and in our work.

There are many miracles we do not see ..
The greatest miracle is the conversion of a soul in sin. Heaven rejoices when even one person returns to God. But in order to do these miracles..Jesus needs us…..
7
…. He needs us to trust in Him
To trust God means to love Him. We need to want his love, our willingness to open our soul to Him and change, before He can enter our soul. He asked the leper: “Do you want to be healed?”. “Lord, I believe, help my disbelief”. We christians "have to meditate on the life of Jesus, from His birth in a stable right up to His death and resurrection (...). For we do need to know it well, to have it in our heart and mind, so that at any time, without any book, we can close our eyes and contemplate His life, watching it like a movie (...). In this way we become involved in His life. It is not a matter of just thinking about Jesus, of recalling some scenes of His life. We must be completely involved and play a part in His life. We should follow Him as closely as Mary His Mother did, as closely as the first twelve, the holy women, the crowds that pressed about Him. If we do this without holding back, Christ's words will enter deep into our soul and will really change us." (Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, Christ is passing by, n. 107). These words, written by a holy priest who loved Christ intensely, may help us to get better acquainted with Christ's life, and so to love Him more every day.

What stops us from believing in His power?
We don’t see it with our own eyes and so we think it’s not real. We’re afraid we might have to change our ways. We think we should change instantly. We grow impatient with ourselves and who we are. We christians "have to meditate on the life of Jesus, from His birth in a stable right up to His death and resurrection (...). For we do need to know it well, to have it in our heart and mind, so that at any time, without any book, we can close our eyes and contemplate His life, watching it like a movie (...). In this way we become involved in His life. It is not a matter of just thinking about Jesus, of recalling some scenes of His life. We must be completely involved and play a part in His life.

The secret to Christ’s power is our ability to believe in Him
Don’t be afraid of trusting in God. Talk to Him and ask Him to help you to be more like Him, more in love and willing to change the world for the better. To be someone GREAT in this life, you have to want to be great. Ask for it with trust and patience. He will always give it to us. We christians "have to meditate on the life of Jesus, from His birth in a stable right up to His death and resurrection (...). For we do need to know it well, to have it in our heart and mind, so that at any time, without any book, we can close our eyes and contemplate His life, watching it like a movie (...).

And what about those miracles like…
Please Lord, help me to pass this subject or even get a 100% Please Lord, help my parents be happier. Please Lord, make it stop raining. Please Lord, give me this… and I promise… Every Christian should know the life of Jesus, and reproduce Christ's life in his or her own life. Reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture will help us, because from Scripture we will learn how to follow Jesus; He, then, will show us the way to holiness in our ordinary life, in our family and in our work.
11
Our Lord gives us miracles to make us better people…not softer people.
Many times difficulties like exams, family, weather, the things we can’t have make us better people. Suffering and pain is a mystery but if we offer it to God than it makes us happier. That offering is a miracle in itself. Also sometimes, Our Lord wants us to pray more for something because when we pray we become better ourselves and grow in strength and love for God. Praying for miracles is always a good thing even if we don’t get what we want. Every Christian should know the life of Jesus, and reproduce Christ's life in his or her own life. Reading and meditating on Sacred Scripture will help us, because from Scripture we will learn how to follow Jesus; He, then, will show us the way to holiness in our ordinary life, in our family and in our work.
