Christ The Power of God

"Christ is the power of God." -1 Corinthians 1:24.

JEHOVAH displayed his power through Jesus Christ in extraordinary ways. The four Gospels provide faith-strengthening details about some of the miracles that Christ performed. Likely, he performed many other miracles.  (Matthew 9:35; Luke 9:11) Yes, God's power was manifested  in Jesus. For good reason,then, the apostle Paul could say about him: "Christ is the power of God." (1 Corinthians 1:24)  Yet, what bearing can Jesus' miracles have on  our life?

The apostle Peter said that Jesus performed miracles, or "wonders." (Acts 2:22) The powerful works that Jesus did on earth were fore-gleams of even grander blessings to come under his kingly rule.  They foreshadow the miracles that Jesus will perform  in God's new world on a global scale!  His miracles also give us tremendous insight into his personality and that of his Father. Let us consider a few of Jesus' miracles and see what the effect they can have on our life now and in the future.
