Miracles (John 4:46-54)

Today's scripture: John 4:46-54

Jesus performed miracle after miracle while He walked the earth. He turned water to wine. He made the blind to see and the lame to walk. He healed lepers. He brought people from the brink of death. He even defeated death itself.

Many followed because of the "signs and wonders" He performed. Yet, His purpose in coming to earth really had nothing to do with these miracles. No, His purpose in coming to earth wasn't to heal bodies. It was to heal hearts; it was to change lives.

Those are the real miracles.

It's the same today. Yes, Jesus can still perform miracles—and He does. I've known people whose cancer should have killed them, and yet they live. I've read stories of people who should be in wheelchairs, and yet they walk.

But I find the stories of changed lives so much more compelling. Drug addicts or alcoholics that are fully clean. Families that have been restored. Rebels that have found peace. Those truly are the real miracles.

Jesus still performs miracles, and people still come to Him because of the miracles they see. You are a walking miracle because Jesus has changed your life. Tell the story of your changed life, and people will believe in Him because of the "signs and wonders" He's done in and through you.

Tell the story of the miracle Jesus has done in your life. It doesn't have to be about being blind and now seeing or overcoming a terminal disease. It can be as simple as your having been lost ... and now you've been found.
