Stories Of Miracles In The Scriptures
by Marissa Velazquez
Miracles are events that seem extraordinary. For instance, when a person who was confirmed to be HIV positive no longer carries the virus, it can be said that a miracle has taken place in such a life. There are other cases where a doctor proclaims the likelihood of a person dying in few weeks or months. Sometimes, the death no longer happens because of supernatural intervention. This has made many doctors to believe in the existence of God. Stories of miracles did not start today; many of them have been recorded in the Bible several years ago.
Faith is the primary factor for a miracle. This can be seen in the story of the woman with the issue of blood who got healed just by touching a part of Jesus' cloth. Before that fateful day, she had been visiting several medical experts who had finally given up on her. Her problem lasted 12 years before she met Jesus.
Another interesting one is the healing of Blind Bartimeus. Bartimeus always begged along the street until one day he heard Jesus was passing by. Even though he had not met Jesus personally before then, he had heard so many things about Him. This prompted him to shout with a loud voice asking Jesus to have mercy on him. In the end, he received his sight for the first time since his birth.
The man called legion (many demons) had been abandoned by his people who thought there was no way he could regain consciousness. Although his relations had given up on him, Jesus did not forget this man who was located at the riverside. He went there specifically for him, to show him his love and care. Jesus expelled the demons from him and sent them to the pigs. The demons drove the pigs to the river where they got drowned.
Another astonishing wonder was Jesus walk on water. The purpose of this miracle was not to show off but to let his disciples know they could do anything he does by simply looking unto Him. This is true because He also beckoned on Peter to do the same.
The feeding of the five thousand men with only five loaves of bread and two fishes is another stunning miracle. Before it happened, Jesus took the loaves, broke it and then gave thanks. Jesus wanted His disciples to know certain things here. First, he wanted them to understand the benefits of sharing. Next, He wanted them to understand the importance of giving thanks to God even when problems still seem to remain.
One of the greatest miracles in the Bible is the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus was sick for some time before his death. Even after his death, Jesus still delayed for four days before going to Bethany. When Jesus went, Lazarus had already been buried so he ordered that he be removed from the tomb. After praying, Lazarus came back to life and the people around became more astonished.
The Old Testament also has many <A href="http://www.heldbythehandofgod.com">stories of miracles</A>. Some of them include the exit of the Israelites through the Red Sea, the creation of the world, destroying the walls of Jericho and the restoration of Naaman. All these stories are recorded to let everyone know that miracles are still possible today.
