Miracles of Jesus

Christians often view Jesus's miracles simply as proofs of his divinity. However, as prolific author Vern Poythress shows in this new book, they also serve as "e;signs of redemption,"e; foreshadowing the salvation that Christ accomplished through his cross and resurrection. This means that the stories of Jesus's miracles-like the calming of the storm or the feeding of the 5,000-are relevant for both Christians and non-Christians alike, clearly pointing to the gospel. After setting forth a framework for viewing all of Jesus's miracles through this lens, Poythress then reflects on the meaning and significance of 26 distinct miracles recorded in the Gospel of Matthew-helping modern readers understand and apply them to their own lives today.
