Miracles of the Bible 978-0-89942-523-8
One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. teaches children in simple, easily understandable language about several miracles that Jesus performed on Earth.
The miracles of Jesus, as recorded in the Bible, demonstrate His divine authority and compassion. These supernatural acts include healing the sick, raising the dead, calming storms, walking on water, and multiplying food to feed thousands. Each miracle teaches us some important lessons about God: they confirm Jesus' identity as the Son of God, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah, and they display his compassion for the poor. Additionally, they reveal God's power over nature, illness, and death, offering a glimpse of the Kingdom of God where suffering is eradicated. Jesus' miracles often accompany His teachings, illustrating spiritual truths, such as His power to forgive sins and provide eternal life. They also invite faith, calling people to believe in His divine mission and message. Through these acts of mercy and power, the miracles emphasize God's love for humanity and His desire to restore and heal the brokenness caused by sin.
The Miracles of the Bible will encourage you to have faith in the power of God and to keep your eyes attuned to the miracles of God in your own life.
