The Miracles of Jesus (April 2013)

Lesson Welcome and Introduction

The Miracles of Jesus

The Gospel of John is considered to be the most metaphysical of the 4 Gospels. Scholars believe that it came from a different source called the Book of Signs, because each of the 7 miracles are “signs” that Jesus was the Messiah.
 
Performing miracles was one of Jesus’ four main teaching methods in an attempt to convey spiritual Truth to twelve ragged disciples who had absolutely no way to relate to that experience.
 
For beginners, this class is a good introduction metaphysical Bible study, and for those who are already well versed in the Bible, it is an opportunity to deepen your understanding. The intended outcome of this course is for students to understand the spiritual laws that give rise to so-called miracles and apply those laws to create miracles in their own lives.
