“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 ye might have life through His name.” (John 20:30-31)
Jesus worked thirty-seven miracles but only eight are recorded in the Gospel of John. If someone needs a miracle to help him focus saving faith on Jesus, these eight are enough. They are called, “sign miracles.”
Jesus told the story of a man who had shunned the Word of God. We call him “Dives.” He died and went to the torments of Hades. When he insisted that Father Abraham send Lazarus, a poor beggar, to warn his five surviving brothers of that horrible place, Abraham said, “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” The man in torments said, “But if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.” Abraham said, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets (Just the Word of God) neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” (Luke 16:28-31)
Don’t wait for some sign or miracle to place your faith in Jesus Christ. Take Him at His Word.
