If Jesus needed the witness of the miracles, He performed to validate His authority, then how can we possibly do less? It is the height of arrogance to think that we can use words alone to persuade people when Jesus had to have signs and miracles to confirm His words. Some people say, “We don't need miracles today; we have the Word of God.” Yet that is not what the Bible teaches. | |||
<blockquote>''<big>“</big> <small><sup>17</sup></small>And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; <small><sup>18</sup></small>They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. <small><sup>19</sup></small>So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. <small><sup>20</sup></small> And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.'' - [[Mark 16:17]], [[Mark 16:18|18]], [[Mark 16:19|19]], [[Mark 16:20|20]] <ref>King James Version (KJV)</ref></blockquote> | |||
