How would
you define a miracle? Have you seen one
in your life time? Or do miracles take place at all now that we have science
and technology?
Calvin
outlines many miracles that took place when Moses was the leader of the fledgling
nation of Israel – such as Moses being taken into a cloud and being without
fellowship for forty days (Exodus 24:18). Calvin insists that the works of God
through miracles strengthen the authority of God’s messengers. Would you rate more highly those who perform miracles? In some traditions it is necessary to perform
a miracle to be declared a saint. How
would you rate the miracles of Jesus? Would it matter whether it was a healing miracle
or a feeding one?
