Jesus' Miracles

Dear Victorious,

Jesus performed several miracles during His time here on earth. And when our preacher talks about one of them, he talks as if they are the thing that made Jesus so special. Honestly, didn't Satan do the same miracles? Are the miracles of Jesus really that relevant to His story then?

Dear Candace,

Some people point to the miracles performed by Jesus and think they're significant because they demonstrated His awesome power. While that may be true, the fact is that Satan has many of the same power to perform feats that humans would consider miraculous. So what set Jesus' miracles apart was their purpose. Jesus' miracles had the purpose of helping to heal people that were broken and to point people to God. That's a purpose Satan could never share.
