Description
Mighty in power, Jesus confronted sickness and sin—even death—with the sovereign authority that was his as the Son of God. His miracles were signs that communicated his Father's love and compassion and drew men and women to faith in him. This Scripture guide will help readers understand these past miraculous events as invitations to experience God's mercy and salvation today. Each of the six sessions includes the full Scripture text of a miracle performed by Jesus, a short commentary, and questions for delving into the text and applying it to daily life. In the Spotlight sections are especially helpful to Catholics, featuring not only details about the historical and cultural background of the New Testament and explanations of Greek words but also brief selections from the church Fathers, saints, church documents, and contemporary Catholic writers.
