Hi, I'm John McMath, and this is the Morning Meditation!

The miracles of Jesus were marvelous and amazing. So much so that they draw attention even today. Many people are interested in miracles.

However, Jesus’ miracles were not divine publicity stunts. Very often Jesus would tell the recipients of a miracle to tell no one. Jesus neither needs nor wants the kind of devotion that is based on miracles.

The purpose of miracles was to point to Jesus. In John 20:30-31, John writes, “Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” John’s message is simple: Believe in miracles, but trust in Jesus.
