Lesson Overview

Even after 2000 years, the miracles of Jesus still raise questions: Did Jesus really cause the lame to walk, give sight to the blind, and raise the dead? Or were His supernatural acts merely legends created by His followers. Many simply can’t believe that the miracles recorded in the New Testament gospels actually happened or that miracles are even possible. What evidence can we find for a miracle-working Jesus? And what can the ancient land of the Bible reveal?

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Since most people have never personally seen the natural laws of the universe altered, some deny that true miracles could ever occur. Do you believe in miracles? What is the basis for your view?
