Signs
If one goes through the bible, one realizes that God also works through signs: When the Pharaoh did not want to let go of the Israelites, God sent 10 plagues to Egypt. The changing of water into wine by Jesus was the first of signs through Christ. When the apostles spoke a language that they…
Following Christ
During the time of Jesus, many people wanted to follow Christ. Perhaps they say it was his power and influence, the miracles he performed, the teachings with authority, and the many material blessings that he received.
