To: Quix; HarleyD
I'm afraid I side with Harley on this one, Q. For me, the resurrection was miracle enough. If I keep my mind and eyes and heart on Christ risen, I don't see how I need much of anything else.

That's not to say there aren't miracles. Every breath of life for God's children is a miracle of grace. Every illness that is healed is by His hand. Every step is by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

"And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left." -- Isaiah 30:21

As I get older, I literally find myself stepping back like when taking a photograph, and in doing so my point of view widens to include more. Everything is by and through and for Jesus Christ, whether we acknowledge that truth or not. (But life is profoundly happier when we do acknowledge it.)

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." -- Colossians 1:16-17

That is so inclusive, so thorough and absolute, who can ignore it?

And the resurrection proved it all true. Aren't we just the most fortunate of men and women?

I didn’t arrange it.

God did.

He made it fairly clear in Scripture:

THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE.

Straightforward Scripture.
