Description



About the Book



Showing how Jesus's miracles serve as "signs of redemption," this book gives readers a framework for applying such stories to their own lives and then examines 26 specific miracles from the Gospel of Matthew.



Book Synopsis



Jesus walked on water. He healed a blind man. He turned water into wine. More than just displays of his divine power, Jesus's miracles signify something deeper--they're windows into God's grand story of redemption, foreshadowing the great miracle of Christ's death and resurrection. By explaining the meaning and significance of all 26 miracles recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, New Testament scholar Vern Poythress shows us their relevance for our lives today. Poythress unpacks how understanding the meaning of Christ's miracles will help us better grasp the salvation God has brought into the world.

  • Argues that Jesus's miracles should be viewed as "signs of redemption," foreshadowing his death and resurrection to save sinners
  • Helps readers apply Jesus's miracles to their own lives
  • Examines distinct miracles recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and John
  • Author holds six academic degrees and is considered an expert in multiple fields of study
