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?

    I believe the people Mr. DeHaan interviewed on the street based their personal convictions concerning miracles on a wrong understanding/definition of miracle. If we define a miracle as “power that alters the law of physics”, then a sunset or birds singing around us is not a miracle. It should be called “unbelievably beautiful” or “only something God creates” but not miracle.

    The people being interviewed were answering by their personal experiences and what they have seen and heard during their time.

    The basis of their personal convictions concerning miracles might have to do with their background knowledge of the Bible, life experiences, and their own personal definition of what a miracle is.

    They are acknowledging that there is some higher power outside of themselves and they see things that are outside of their control and give thanks for it.

    The idea of a supernatural miracle was not lost on them. Some saw the everyday things that happen as miracles, which is still a testament to God’s incredible design. Others saw the large, “impossible” tasks as miracles as well. Some were not as fortunate. The basis for their personal convictions may be that they are not people of faith or have been taught that the miracles of the bible are just stories or allegories rather than true acts. Those are the ones who need to see to believe.

    I believe that it depends on our beliefs and our acknowledgement on what we see on our every day life. If we don’t believe that miracles such as the ones Jesus performed can be true, then how can we truly believe in Christ being the Son of God? It is hard to believe without seeing as we have become believers by sight, but just like the gospel says we must’ believe without seeing ‘ or else how can we believe in God?
