Miracles have a purpose. God is not in the business of doing the miraculous simply to amaze and astound people. Jesus refused to perform miracles to satisfy people’s curiosity. Instead, miracles are to confirm the authority of those sent by God and to testify to the truth of the revelation they bring. Although God ultimately stands behind all that happens, supernatural agents other than God can perform miracles. A miraculous event can even come from Satan to lead people astray. If a miracle is performed that encourages us to abandon authentic biblical truth and the gospel, we are to reject it.
