Jehovah's Creations and Miracles

Jehovah creates, and he performs miracles. Have you ever wondered about the turning of water into blood, the parting of the Red Sea, the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, and other miracles recorded in the Bible?  Since man is of limited intellectual power, probably  he will never understand how some of these miracles happened, the same as he cannot fully understand the miracle of the sun rising and setting each day.  The creation  of man was a miracle.  Modern man  did not see that miracle, but he knows it happened, for he is alive today to prove it.  Indeed, all life  and all the universe constitute one perpetual miracle. So are we to doubt when God's Word, the Bible, says that he performed miracles for specific times, even though there is no  need for the same miracles today?

All of Jehovah's creation is miraculous and wonderful!  However, his very first creation was the marvelous of all. It was the creation of a spirit Son, his "firstborn."  (Colossians 1:15)  This heavenly Son was named "the Word." Countless ages after his creation, he came to this earth and was called the  "man, Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5)  Then it was said of him:  "So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth." -John 1:14.

The relationship of Jehovah and his Son may be compared to that of the owner-manager and his son in a workshop, where the son helps make the items designed by his father.  Through his firstborn Son and companion worker, Jehovah created other spirit creatures, sons of God.  Later, these rejoiced to see Jehovah's Son, his Master Worker, bring for the material heavens and the earth on which we live.  Do you doubt that these things were created?  Thousands of years later, Jehovah "Where did you happen to be when I found the earth? Tell me, if you do know understanding. When the morning stars joyfully cry out together, and all the sons of God began shouting in applause?" -Job 38:4, 7;John 1:3.
