Apart from raising the dead to life, Jesus’s power over the demonic realm is one wrought with curiosity and intrigue.  There are 4 recorded instances where Jesus cast demons out of man (5 if you count Mary Magdalene), which leads to more questions than...

First if you have come this far in your journey to read the bible every day for a year (remember those pesky new years resolutions we made in January?) then great job. Some of us have bibles that dice up readings for each day. But then you stumble on Deuteronomy or Leviticus, where we lose all hope. Rules and strange sacrifices that really don’t apply to the modern Christian. Now, you’re not getting anything out of it. Like God isn’t speaking with you. Are you doing it wrong? Dr. James Coakley says, maybe.

Some of the more astounding miracles performed by Jesus were those that defied nature. He unofficially kicked off his ministry by turning water into wine, calmed a raging storm by a verbal command, and brought the dead to life. This wasn’t a sensational way to win friends and influence people, or was it?

The human body is a wondrous thing. If you scratch your arm, a number of systems automatically activate, coagulating blood, creating scabs, and rebuilding the cellular structures. But then there are the healings that aren’t “normal.” Jesus showed great compassion on people by healing them in their physical afflictions, but the more miraculous was his divine “heart surgery.”

When Jesus provided it was never in the way people expected. In feeding the 5000, his disciples were perplexed – they were too far away from any city, they had no food trucks, no money to feed the mass of people, but Jesus insisted that they extend hospitality to these hungry folk. You know the story – in the end, everyone was stuffed and there was food left over. Was it simply a reaction to a few grumbling bellies, or was there a greater purpose to this miracle, and others like it?

Any lunatic or megalomaniac can claim to be god, and many genuinely believe that they can become a god in the hereafter. Jesus was no lunatic and hardly a megalomaniac and he proved it by performing signs and wonders. Make no mistake however! These signs were hardly slight of hand or magical illusions. They were miracles through and through.
