The Miracles of our Lord
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
It lies at the heart of our Christian faith—the profound but simple truth that the same power that can turn water into wine can also breathe life into a long-dead corpse.
These are the miracles of Jesus, evidence that he is the Son of God. It is in the Gospel accounts of his ministry that we discover his never-failing mastery over the forces of sickness and sin, nature and Satan, life and death.
The facts about each of the 35 recorded miracles of Jesus—complemented by Charles C. Ryrie's biblical research and personal insights—continue to carry a faith-strengthening message to the Lord's followers today.

“C.S. Lewis in his book Miracles (London: The Centenary Press, 1947, p. 15). A miracle is more than something unusual (though in ordinary speech we often call such events miracles). A true miracle is something beyond man’s intellectual or scientific ability to accomplish. It is not natural, even though it may be unusual, a miracle is supernatural (that is, from God or Satan). It is more than a highly improbable event; it injects a new element (the supernatural) into the natural order of things.” (Page 10)
“Thirty-five separate miracles done by Christ are recorded in the gospels. Of these Matthew mentioned twenty; Mark eighteen; Luke, twenty; and John, seven. But these are only a selection from among many that he did (Matthew 4:23–24; 11:4–5, 21:14). In this book I follow the chronological order of the thirty-five as nearly as it can be determined.” (Page 11)
“Miracles in the Old Testament were often for judgment; miracles in the New were for blessing. But miracles in both were for the glory of God.” (Page 16)
“Fourth, we must not be tempted to disbelieve because we are afraid (in a good sense) for the Lord’s reputation.” (Page 29)
“Second, we must do what he says even if it seems contrary to our best knowledge of the matter.” (Page 29)

The Miracles of Our Lord received the Gold Medallion Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. That award speaks volumes, as to the topic and content of Dr. Ryrie's writing. I am pleased to see ECS Ministries supply this excellent book, so that the current generation can benefit from Dr. Ryries insights and exposition of scripture. This is a 5 Star Book, and should be a part of every Christian's Library.
