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 foregleams of even grander blessings to come under his kingly rule.  They foreshadowed the miracles that  Jesus will perform in God's new world on global scale! His miracles also give use tremendous insight into his personality and that of his Father. Let us consider  a few of Jesus; miracles and see what effect they can have on our life now and in the future.
