That You May Believe

In Acts 2, there are three words used to define supernatural works:

"Miracles" is the Greek word dunamis, defined as "power, ability, physical or moral, as residing in a person or thing." "Wonder" is the rendering of the Greek noun teras, literally, "something strange." The emphasis is on events that cause the beholder to marvel. "Signs" is the Greek word semeion. The word means sign or signal. It implies a thing which can be used for identification. The emphasis is that miracles and wonders are signs of divine authority.

You will marvel as you meditate on his miracles, watch him create the universe, heal the human body, bend the laws of physics, manipulate creation, read the thoughts of others and resurrect the dead. Think beyond the doubt and absurd fantasies of unbelieving scholars, and understand what he accomplished. Apply these ruminations to your own life, and come to believe, in a fuller and more mature way, what he is capable of achieving in and through you. "The work of God is to believe," so strap in, observe, marvel, and be prepared to believe as never before!
