Believable

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through His name.” (John 20:30-31)

None of the Gospel writers recorded all thirty-seven of the miracles of Jesus. John recorded the fewest number with seven before His crucifixion and one more following His resurrection, making a total of eight. Then John makes the statement that these are written that the reader would know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing we could have life through His name.

When I share the Gospel with someone it is not necessary for me to perform a miracle or some sign for my message to be believable. I can read the story of Jesus healing the Nobleman’s son of Capernaum, or the healing of the man at the pool of Bethesda, or Jesus giving sight to the blind man who was born blind, or the raising of Lazarus from the grave or the feeding of the five thousand with just five barley loaves and two small fish. He did all those things plus the miracles recorded in the other Gospels plus He was raised bodily from the grave three days after His death. He is believable. Trust Him.
