Gospel in a Minute: Jesus’ Miracles Testify to His Identity as the Messiah

Gospel in a Minute

Peter said that Jesus’ miracles are a proof that he is the Messiah.

People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs through him, as you well know.Acts 2:22 (NLT)

Some people discount the miracles of Jesus and relegate them to the realm of mere legend, but the people of that day knew first hand they were true. In fact, Jesus boldly challenged those who doubted his identity as the Messiah.

...The proof is the work I do in my Father’s name. John 10:25 (NLT) 

Principle: Jesus’ Miracles Testify to His Identity as the Messiah

When we share the gospel, we should bring people face to face with Jesus’ miracle working power, which testifies to God’s love.

Better yet, why not give the Holy Spirit a chance to demonstrate God’s willingness to testify again today by offering to pray for any present needs our hearers may have, especially physical ones?

Don’t miss a chance for God to publicly demonstrate that the gospel is true and Jesus is alive. Paul didn’t.

For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true... 1 Thessalonians 1:5 (NLT)
