In the Bible, we see many miracles that took place that were done by God throughout time from the creation on through till the first Advent of Jesus Christ. We tend to marvel about the realities of all these miracles, as we read about dividing the Red Sea, raising of the dead, water into wine, walking on water, feeding multitudes with five loaves and two fish, returning sight to the blind, etc. In fact there are hundreds of them listed in both the Old & New Testaments. The greatest one that flows throughout the Bible in the background, is “Miraculous Love From God”
Old Testament Scripture Reading: Malachi 1:1 – 5 (KJV)
Mal 1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Mal 1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Mal 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
Mal 1:5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.
New Testament Scripture Reading: John 12:36 – 43 (KJV)
Joh 12:36 While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
Joh 12:37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
Joh 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Joh 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
Joh 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Joh 12:41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Joh 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
Joh 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Transforming Power Statements:
1) The Jews, God’s chosen people, had lost sight of God’s great love and provision as we see through the Prophet Malachi, who reveals the bad attitude of the covenant people who had began to just go through the motions in their service to God, rather than realizing that God wanted their affection for Him and not their misguided rituals and lip service!
2) The miracles in the Bible reveal to us the unlimited power of God to do whatever He pleases to do even against the ordinary laws of nature, which He Himself created, in order to display His authority over the things which He has created and for the sake of the people who are the objects of His Love.
3) The miracles of Jesus were exceedingly more and greater than all the previous miracles ever experienced by His people, and even the raising of many from the dead, such as Lazarus who had been dead for four days, still did not cause the hardcore unbelievers to realize that what they were really experiencing from Jesus was “Miraculous Love From God” Who had every right to destroy us all, but rather chose to love us all, if only we would just believe in His Son Jesus upon Whom He poured out His wrath to give us a right to the tree of life!
