Compassion Over Spectacle: The Purpose of Jesus’ Miracles

This week on Cultivate, we take a deeper look at Jesus' miracles—and why He did them in the first place. Charlie and Abigail unpack the purpose behind the healing, casting out of demons, and even the more mysterious moments like calming storms or turning water into wine. Spoiler: it wasn’t about showing off.Instead, we see that Jesus’ miracles were rooted in compassion, often done quietly, and always with purpose. Rather than demanding belief through power, Jesus invited people into relationship, into trust. The miracles weren’t the point—they were a glimpse of God’s heart and a setup for something far bigger: the cross.If you’ve ever wondered why Jesus sometimes told people not to talk about their healing, or why He didn’t use miracles to make life easier for everyone, this conversation will shift your perspective and draw you closer to who Jesus really is.
