And then he used the occasion of a miracle to teach his closest followers about his vocation as the Savior who would suffer, die, and rise again. Jesus recognized that the hope of the world did not rest on a few isolated healings in rural Galilee, but rather on the climatic miracle of his death and resurrection from the grave.
The miracles, as signs pointing to the deeper truth about Jesus, should cause us to place our faith in him. Are we paying attention to the signs? A final purpose for miracles that I will mention is this: Jesus performed miracles to provide us with a glimpse of the world that is to come. The supernatural acts of Jesus are like a flash of lightening that illuminates a dark night for a few moments, allowing us to see clearly.
In the Garden of Eden, humankind existed with God in perfect harmony and peace. When Jesus healed the sick, restored sight to the blind, and calmed the storm, he was taking us back—even just for a moment—to the perfection of Eden. The supernatural acts of Jesus are also a taste of the future Eden, the world that is to come described in Revelation Just as God once created, he is going to re-create the world at the end of time.
The miracles provide us with a peek at this future re-creation. The Bible tells us that God did not originally make the world to have disease, hunger, and death in it.
