Why Don’t We Get More Miracles?
When you read the Bible stories, you get the impression that miracles are happening all the time. Why don’t we see miracles now, and if you believe we do, then why aren’t they more frequent?
We may have the wrong idea about miracles in the Bible. We think that back then, they happened all the time. They didn’t. When you read the Bible, it certainly appears that miracles happened all the time, but that’s not how it was.
First of all, think about what a miracle is. It’s a supernatural event. The word “supernatural” tells you that it happens outside the ordinary course of events or even the laws of nature.
There were often long periods – actually, for the great majority of the period covered by the Bible – no miracles are recorded as having happened. An example is the gap of approximately 400 years between the time covered by the Old and New Testaments, during which there were no prophets and no miracles recorded. There are many other such periods.
God tends to use miracles to announce specific events in salvation history. It’s why you mainly see miracles happening in clusters throughout the Bible rather than all the time. Of course, there was a massive outbreak of miracles associated with Jesus’ ministry and the establishment of the early Christian church.
Here’s the thing about miracles. We shouldn’t expect them. If you expect them to happen all the time, they wouldn’t be miracles, would they? They’d be the norm! The reason miracles were recorded is that they were so extraordinary and unusual. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been miracles, just common, everyday events.
The Christian faith tells us that now we are in a time when suffering is normal, and it looks forward with hope and joy to new heavens and a new earth, to a time when all evil will be entirely and miraculously destroyed.
It’s important to realize that Christianity isn’t about performing miracles. Christianity is about trusting in Jesus.
That trust doesn’t mean there aren’t miracles today. There are probably more miracles around the world than we realize. After all, you tend to see what you look for, and today’s materialistic, evolutionary worldview is blind to God and his work.
I believe God is still on the throne, and he can do whatever he likes, including miracles.
