Christian Learning Center › Forums › During the video section Mart DeHaan interviewed people on the street in Tiberias. He asked them if they believed in miracles. He concluded: “I sensed in the residents of Tiberias that the ‘miracles’ they believed in would not have been as dramatic as someone turning water into wine or bringing a dead person back to life; yet according to the Gospel narratives, Jesus displayed an authority and power over nature that had no natural explanation.” What might be the basis for their personal convictions concerning miracles?

    Those people haven’t seen a real miracle in their lives, and probably don’t believe that one can occur. So all they identify as miracle figuratively is anything that causes a sense of wonder, like watching a sunset.

    The people of Tiberias seem to be speaking of the “worldly” definition of a miracle. A miracle being something that evokes great emotion. But when we speak of Jesus’ miracles, we are speaking of occurrences that do not follow the law of the natural world.

    A majority of the time people have a hard time living in light of Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we don’t see”. They think that maybe one day it could have happened but can’t believe that if they haven’t seen it it could still be possible. However, faith is truly believing that God is able whether you’ve seen it or not. For most seeing is believing but for the follower of Jesus-not seeing is where the real faith takes place!

    I have seen miracles all my life, from the time I was a child. They were not like the parting of the Red Sea or raising someone from the dead, but they were impactfull to me. I myself was healed when my parents were told I would not live. God has done so many miracles in my life that I have no doubt He is all powerful and God. I think people who have seen or had a mircale in their lives are more likely ot have strong personal convictions concerning miracles.

    I have experienced answers to prayers that I would consider miracles. I think that as we live in the word today, we are sadly unaware of many miracles that happen around us.

    I do agree with some of their responses…. Everyday we experience small miracles but the bigger miracles that are out of nature will be shown to us if it is God’s will to show us. When it is my time, I will choose to believe.

    Truly only God performs miracles. No one before or after Jesus did what only Jesus could do. No human can perform miracles.

    The people interviewed shared examples of things they felt were miracles they had experienced personally. They were certainly different than the miracles that took place during Jesus’ time.

    I do not agree with those that were interviewed. A miracle is a happening beyond the laws of nature. I believe that Jesus did the miracles as stated in the word of God to prove he was the son of God.

    I think their responses are linked to their faith. I disagree with them, that not everything is a miracle. I think God reveals himself through Creation and wonderful things we can experience, but miracles are something entirely different than the responses in the video.
