LC: Know what Christians believe about the nature of Jesus because of the stories of miracles he performed.
Read the stories of the miracles Jesus performed on the PowerPoint below.
With your talk partner, agree one miracle story on which to focus. Imagine that you were an eye witness to it. Have a conversation about what you have seen. If you had witnessed it, what would it make you believe about Jesus? Think about how you would describe someone who can conduct miracles and the people Jesus chose to perform miracles for.
Most Christians believe that the miracle stories show that Jesus was fully God and had divine power. He could make the impossible possible. Additionally they show the nature of Jesus as a compassionate human being, a ready to help the poorest and sickest in society.
Write a brief summary of your chosen miracle and what Christians believe the miracle stories tell them about the nature of Jesus.
