Jesus Son Of God



   In the Gospel, John the Apostle makes clear how extensively Jesus performed miracles and signs among both Jews and Gentiles. To believe that Jesus is the Son of God, these facts are documented. 'There were many other signs that Jesus worked in the sight of the disciples, but they are not recorded in this book. 31 These are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing this you may have life through his name.' Jn 20: 30-31. The main goal of Jesus' miracles and wonders was to win people over to his faith and grant them eternal life.

  Mt 21: 15-17Jesus then went into the Temple and drove out all those who were selling and buying there; he upset the tables of the money-changers and the seats of the dove-sellers. 13 He said to them, ‘According to scripture, my house will be called a house of prayer; but you are turning it into a bandits’ den 14 There were also blind and lame people who came to him in the Temple, and he cured them. 15 At the sight of the wonderful things he did and of the children shouting, ‘Hosanna to the son of David’ in the Temple, the chief priests and the scribes were indignant and said to him, 16 ‘Do you hear what they are saying?’ Jesus answered, ‘Yes. Have you never read this: By the mouths of children, babes in arms, you have made sure of praise?’ 17 With that he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night. Jesus had the power to destroy any form of fortress that stood in the way of God's Kingdom. He was particularly worried about the House of God, which he described as the House of Prayer but which the Jews had turned into a den. He never compromises on this, and he has healed the blind and the lame.
