What Were The 7 Miracles of Jesus?

In this article, I would like to discuss the 7 miracles that Jesus performed in the Bible. They include Jesus turning water into wine, walking on water, healing an official’s son, raising a crippled man, feeding over 5,000 people, restoring eyesight to the blind, and raising Lazarus from the dead. These miracles reveal that Jesus was more than just a prophet or moral teacher. He was God’s only begotten Son with infinite power and glory.

1. Jesus turns water into wine (Jn 2:1-12). At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, Jesus altered the chemical composition from water to wine. This miracle revealed Jesus’ glory and power over creation. It also symbolized a key component of His ministry: The replacement of the old order, the water of ceremonial cleansing and the temple—with the new wine of salvation and the risen Lamb as the new temple (Is. 25:6-9; Rev. 21:22). How does this truth change your perspective of God’s glory?

2. The Son of Man heals an official’s son without even going to see the body (Jn. 4:46-54). This miracle demonstrated that God was not limited by geography, but is present everywhere (omniscient). He was able to heal the Nobleman’s son at the exact hour the request was made. Moreover, this event showed Jesus was not only reaching out to the Jewish people, but despised people who are less than kosher, including a Samaritan adulteress and here a Herodian official (Jn.4:1-54). Are you reaching out to the people who are despised by the world and offering them the Good News like Jesus, or are you afraid of what others might think?

3. The Christ heals a crippled man on the Sabbath (Jn. 5:1-17). The next miracle indicated that Jesus wasn’t limited by time but is always working. He is all-powerful and never subject to growing weary or tired. The religious leaders were not happy that Jesus was healing on the Sabbath. They believed it conflicted with the law of Moses (Ex. 35:2) so they attempted to stop Jesus, but He responded to them: “My Father is still working, and I am too.” What does this passage teach us about the dangers of legalism?
