How did Jesus perform his miracles? By what power did he heal the sick and drive out demons? You may think the answer is, “By virtue of his divine power as God.” But you would be wrong. Yes, Jesus was and always will be God, but he accomplished his earthly ministry and performed his many miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit, the very same Holy Spirit who now indwells and empowers Christians to carry on the ministry that Jesus inaugurated.
