The word “Christology” comes from two Greek words meaning “Christ / Messiah” and “word,” which combine to mean “the study of Christ.” Christology is the study of the Person and work of Jesus Christ. There are numerous important questions that Christology answers:
The miracles of Jesus—about 37 are recorded in the Gospels—include physical healings, casting out demons, providing food, controlling or altering elements such as water, wind, and rain, and raising people from the dead. All these supernatural occurrences served a specific purpose in God’s plan of salvation for humanity.
Christology Session 11: What Were the Miracles of Jesus?
Scriptures and Purpose of Jesus Miracles?
The central purpose of Jesus’ miracles was to reveal and advance the kingdom of God (see Matthew 12:28), but these miracles also served several other peripheral purposes. The first recorded miracle of Jesus was turning water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana (John 2:1–12). John called this miracle a “miraculous sign” (verse 11). It accomplished two critical purposes: it proved Christ’s power and revealed His glory. As a result, the disciples put their faith in Jesus.
Another purpose of Jesus’ miracles was to reveal His divine identity and authority as the Messiah and Son of God (John 11:41–42). Jesus said, “The works that the Father has given me to finish—the very works that I am doing—testify that the Father has sent me” (John 5:36). As Jesus performed various signs and wonders, He proved that He was divinely endowed with power to control physical elements (Matthew 8:27), spiritual forces (Matthew 12:28; Mark 1:34), and even life and death (Luke 7:14–15; Matthew 9:25)
