Jesus and Miracles
According the Catechism of the Catholic Church Miracles are signs of the kingdom of God. "The signs worked by Jesus attest that the Father has sent him. They invite belief in him "So miracles strengthen faith in the One who does his Father's works." (#548) Proving that Miracles happened in the bible exactly as they were described by the gospel writers could be a difficult task today. But, for the people of first century Palestine, they were not concerned with the factual elements of the miracles, but what it symbolized. Miracles were "signs and wonders" attributed to God. The writers of the gospels were conveying to their communities through the miracle stories that Jesus was the embodiment of the Kingdom of God.
How do the miracles stories of the gospels help our faith become more alive?
The miracle stories offer us a charge in that Jesus not only proclaimed the kingdom of God he acted in a way that showed the kingdom of God on earth. We may look to the miracle stories with "wonder", but at the same time we must see them as a call to discipleship. The stories are showing us how to be Faith-filled caregivers to the world as a sign of the Kingdom of God.
