Matthew 8 - Introduction

Miracles Of The Master

Matthew Eight

Jesus did undeniable miracles that proved Him to be the Son of God. "And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." (John 20:30-31.) Nicodemus had it right when he said of Jesus, "...no one can do these things that you do unless God is with Him." (John 3:2)

A miracle is an event or actions that could not be produced by man or nature. It is a supernatural event that goes beyond natural law. In Bible days no one had to try to defend miracles or prove that they were done. They were so out of the ordinary that they either happened or they did not happen. Many people saw Bible miracles; therefore none could deny that they were real. Even the enemies of Christianity admitted that miracles were done in Bible days! Matthew eight lists several of Jesus' miracles.
