Categories of Miracles in the Old and New Testaments
- Miracles fall into three categories of revelation:
- The time of Moses
- The time of Elijah and Elisha
- The time of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit working through the apostles
Types of Jesus' Miracles
- Healing miracles: recovery from sickness and diseases
- Nature miracles: controlling natural events (e.g., calming a storm, walking on water)
- Exorcisms: casting out demons
- Resurrection: bringing the dead back to life
Purposes of Jesus' Miracles
- Proving Jesus is God: demonstrating control over creation
