Miracles of Jesus

Meditations for Saints in the Making

This is a loaded episode! To help you to navigate it I’ve included time codesand segments underneath the description, and scripture references beneath that. Description

I’ve been talking a lot about Truth lately. It’s the life force of all reality. And what we see in the miracles of Jesus is love, compassion, mercy, and all of that. But those are all manifestationsof TRUTH. Fundamentally what we see in the miracles of Jesus is Truth acting on reality. We’re seeing TRUTH restore and make whole. I apply this to a few lessons in the episode.

In this episode I review some miracles of Jesus—Raising the Widow’s son from the dead, raising Lazarus,. and healing a leper—from the scriptural narratives. The narratives kind of show us more than meets the eye. It may inform your own meditation, but it will at least serve as an example of how such things can be meditated on.

Then I string some of the healing miracles together, explaining what they have in common with each other. Finally I point out one miracle that stands out from all the rest; something that breaks the mold and ‘doesn’t make sense’.
