John 5 - Why did Jesus perform miracles? (New Living Translation)

Why did Jesus perform miracles? Jesus said that his miracles (and teachings) prove that He was sent by God as the Messiah.Why does that matter? Consider the audience. As Jesus healed a paralyzed man, He was met with criticism by the religious leaders! Not only that - because He claimed to be the Son of God, those religious leaders wanted to kill Him! 😳The miracles that He did, and the things He taught astounded everyone. They couldn't argue with His words, and they certainly couldn't argue with the miracles themselves. People responded differently - some chose to believe - and others chose to reject.Today we’re reading John 5 from the New Living Translation.Listen now - today is your "on ramp!"
