Two Miracles Attest That Jesus Is The Resurrection And Life — Christ foreknew His mystery, even before the foundations of the world. It was in the last ages of the world that He arose for the inhabitants of the earth. Having borne the sin of the world, He abolished both it and death, which is its consequence and was brought upon us by its means. He plainly said, “I am the resurrection and the life,” and “he who believes in me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement but has passed from death unto life.”
We will see this fulfilled in facts.
The ruler of the synagogue of the Jews came near and, embracing the Savior’s knees, begged Him to deliver his daughter from the bonds of death. Look, she already was brought down to this and was in extreme danger!
The Savior consented and set out with him. He was even hurrying on to the house of the one who invited Him and was aware thaqt what was being done would profit many of those who followed Him and would also be for His own glory.
On the way, He saved the woman who was the victim of a severe and incurable malady. No one could stop her issue of blood that ruined the art of physicians.
No sooner had she touched the hem in faith that He immediately healed her.
A miracle so glorious and revealed was, so to speak, the work merely of Christ’s journey.
