Miracles are very possible from God
RON ASHTON
FREE METHODIST
CHURCH
Do you really believe
that Jonah was
swallowed by a whale?
Do you seriously think
that Christ actually fed
5,000 persons from five
loaves of bread' and two
fishes?
This is the trend and
tone of many modern
questioners. There must
be rational answers and
explanations for these
"miracles", so they
think. The Bible must be
a quaint way of con-
veying a spiritual
message but"is not to be
taken literally.
There is an underlying
question at the root of all
of these questions and
doubts. The problem is
not with a particular
miracle but with
miracles in general. The
question really is, "Are
miracles possible?"
The one who doubts the
possibility of miracles is
one who has a weak view
of God. What the person
is really thinking or
saying is, "I'm not sure I
inister's
study
believe in God or that He
can really do the things I
read in the Bible".
The problem then is
with the whole concept of
God. Does God exist? If
He does, how powerful is
He and does He interfere
in the lives of people_by__
performing miracles.
In surveys taken
nationwide it is still
shown that the great
majority of people
believe in the existence of
God.
Once you and I admit
that God does exist then
the question of miracles
begins to work „itself out.
If God does exist, then. we
begin to see Him as some
kind of an all-powerful,
heavenly Creator off our
world. To say that God
exists is to really say that,
I believe there is someone
higher, more powerful,
more intelligent, more
supernatural than I am
myself. Without belief in
God, the concept of
miracles is extremely
difficult, if not im-
possible, to entertain.
What is a miracle?
Some like the philosopher
Hume have said it is a
violation of a natural law.
But God is above, beyond
and outside what we have
so crudely called natural
law. He is not bound by it.
Laws do not cause God to

do anything, rather they
are descriptions of what
happens. So, God, as the
all-powerful God, has set
certain actions into
motion such as gravity,
air pressure, buoyancy,
The, Rev. Ron Ashton
etc. For him to brim
about new laws is not
unusual.
What is a miracle? It is
a happening which to our
way of thinking defies
rational or "natural"
explanations. The
resurrection of Lazarus
by Jesus fits in this
category. The healing of
leprosy, deformities,
congenital diseases, etc.
fits into this category. So
miracles are unusual
events while laws are
ordinary events:
The question of
whether miracles are
possible is not scientific
but philosophical.
Science can only say that
miracles do not occur in
the ordinary course of
nature. That is true, for
miracles do not happen
every day in our lives. If
God exists, then miracles
are possible.
My own personal en-
counter with people who
have been miraculously
healed has proved to me
that God exists and is still
very much at work!!
Has God ever worked a
miracle in your life? It
may not have been a
miracle of physical
healing. But did you know
there is a much greater
miracle you can receive?
Being "born-again"
spiritually is, without
doubt, the best of all
miracles. God can
miraculously change
your life! He has done it
for me. He can do it for
you!
