Friday, it seemed all hope was lost. Jesus was dead in the tomb. But that was Friday. And today is Easter! Our Jesus is not dead; He is alive! Jesus conquered death and made a way for us to have a personal relationship with God. Jesus’ Resurrection from the dead changes everything. Now we have hope. Now, our lives are not defined by our sin, but defined by His grace. You matter to God. You matter so much that God sent His One and Only Son for you. Will you believe this today and commit your life to Jesus? Will you come alive in Christ and see your life changed for eternity? The Greatest Miracle of all is Jesus’s Resurrection. He conquered death and made a way for you to become fully alive! Let’s celebrate. He is Risen. It’s Easter!

Jesus is the Miracle Worker. Jesus is greater than anything we face in this life. Jesus has the power over life and death. We must know that Jesus’ miracles come in His timing - not always our timing. Do we pray for miracles and trust in His timing? Regardless of what you face in life, you can always know Jesus is greater. He loves you! Once you come alive in Christ, then live in His freedom as His disciple. Will you believe and experience a miracle today?

In John 9, we see a powerful story of healing that starts with mud, spit, and obedience but it quickly becomes something deeper. Jesus heals a man born blind, showing that God often does His greatest work through our pain. But the miracle doesn’t make life easier—it disrupts everything. The man loses his status, his neighbors' trust, his parents’ support, and his place in the religious community. Yet, as the conflict builds, so does his clarity. What began as physical healing becomes a journey of faith: first seeing Jesus as a man, then a prophet, and finally, the Son of God. The real miracle wasn’t just that he could see, it’s that he came to believe, and he worshipped.

As followers of Jesus, sometimes we can think that we will not have any problems. There are so many blessings with being a Christian, but we still live in a broken and fallen world, which means we will all go through storms. One day, it will all be perfect in Heaven, but until that day comes, we must learn to have faith in Jesus and live in His peace in the middle of the storms. God promises to “never leave us or forsake us.” Jesus will walk on water to come to us. And our faith must grow to the point to step out of the boat and trust in Him. With Jesus, you are never alone, and you can experience peace in your storm.

Our God is a God of miracles. In one of Jesus’ most famous miracles in the Bible, Jesus feeds 5,000 men (probably more like 15,000 to 20,000 people) with only five loaves of bread and two small fish. When we place a little in the hands of Jesus, He multiplies it and more. So often, we forget about Jesus. When we are in need, call out to the God of miracles. Jesus is always more than enough. Will you place your life in His hands today? Will you place your faith in Jesus and watch Him do miracles in you and through you for His glory? Live as a disciple of Jesus.

The story of Jesus healing at the Pool of Bethesda is more than just a physical miracle—it’s a picture of spiritual transformation. Just as the man had been waiting for years by the pool, stuck in his condition, many of us find ourselves trapped in cycles of waiting, hoping for change but unsure of how to step into healing. Jesus doesn’t just restore bodies; He calls us to get up, pick up our past, and walk forward in faith, leaving behind the things that once held us back and stepping into the new life He offers.

Jesus’ miracles, showing that miracles are not just about physical healing but about restoring faith and revealing God’s greater purpose. This moment builds on previous signs, leading to deeper belief in Jesus as the source of life. The nobleman’s desperate plea for his son’s life mirrors our own need for healing and hope, reminding us that hope leads to faith even when circumstances seem hopeless. Ultimately, the miracle points beyond itself—to God’s desire to heal not only individuals, but entire families, communities, and a broken world. Just as God gave His Son to bring eternal life, He uses moments of healing to invite us into belief.

Miracles happen. God’s miracles did not only occur in Biblical times, but the same God still does miracles today. In our Easter series, we will walk through the eight miracles of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of John. Jesus’ first miracle was turning water to wine at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. This miracle saved a couple from social embarrassment and revealed a God who loves us and is involved in the details of our lives. Regardless of where you are in your life journey today, always know when Jesus is present a miracle can happen. Pray bold prayers. Always trust and believe in the One who does miracles!
