The Ministry of Jesus Christ page 3

Jesus revealed himself as the promised Savior in many ways, including performing countless miracles. At a wedding feast, He changed water into wine. He healed a man who had been lame for 38 years.

Jesus cured a man with Leprosy, saying, “Be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

A man full of leprosy—an untouchable—saw Jesus and fell on his face, saying, “Lord, if You want to, You can make me clean.”

Jesus then reached out his hand and touched him, saying, “Be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him.

Jesus brought sight to a man who had been blind from birth.

One woman, who for twelve years had a disease which doctors could not heal, reached out and touched Jesus’ robe. He turned, saying, “Daughter, be comforted. Your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

Those suffering from different kinds of diseases were brought to Him, and He healed them all.

Jesus called 12 men together, asking them to follow Him. He gave them power and authority over devils, and He sent these disciples out to preach about the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

His fame went everywhere, and great crowds came together to hear Him teach and to be healed of their diseases.

When a gathering of 5,000 people needed food, Jesus prayed over a young boy’s lunch of bread and fish. The food was miraculously multiplied, so that it fed the whole throng, with twelve baskets left over.

But the people kept asking for more proof that Jesus was from God. They said, “Our forefathers ate manna in the desert. It is written in the Scriptures, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”

Jesus replied, “The bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

The people said, “Lord, give us this bread all the time.”

Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; he that believes on Me shall never thirst.” Jesus prophesied that He must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and then be raised from the dead on the third day.
