Jesus'+Miracles

== =Jesus' Miracles= Jesus, to Christians, was the son of god. Along with being the son god, came the ability to do many mysterious things. He could heal deadly diseases, turn water into wine, and walk on water. To the Christian faith this man was a Miracle worker.

Exorcism/Healing
If a Jew was blind, lame, sick or possessed, he or she could not enter the temple in Jerusalem or continue to the kingdom of god. Jesus Could heal all of these things and often did. These miracles showed his followers that Jesus had the authority and power to send people to heaven, which is a power only a god should possess.

Walking on Water
One night the disciples¹ were on the sea of Galilee. They see Jesus walking towards them on the water. He assures them that it is alright and that it is him Jesus. //This Miracle is often related to Moses' crossing of the red sea.//

Water into Wine
Jesus was attending a wedding in Canaan when they ran out of wine. Jesus instructed the servants to fill all the barrels they could find with water. They did so and soon there was wine. This Miracle had particular meaning because of water's key role in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Feeding 5,000
Jesus traveled to the desert to speak with 5,000 of his followers. He chose the desert because it could hold that many people. He began to speak when he was told that all the people there were hungry. He decided he would do something about it. He told the people to gather all the food they had. Five loaves of bread and two fish were brought back. Mysteriously he made it enough to feed 5,000 with leftovers. //This same miracle seems to play out in all three western religions ( Islam, Christianity,Judaism). With Moses, Muhammad and, Jesus all preforming essentially the same miracle.//
