THE CURIOUS SEEKERS

Listen to this Article When we read the Gospels, we are struck by page after page of Jesus healing the sick, opening blind eyes, calming storms, and even raising the dead. For many, these are just fascinating stories of the past. But the question remains: do Jesus’ miracles still matter to us today? The answer is a resounding yes. They are not just records of ancient power; they are living signs of who Jesus is and what He continues to do in His Church and in our world. 1. Miracles Point to Jesus’ Identity The miracles were never mere spectacles. John calls them “signs” (John 20:30-31), meaning they pointed beyond themselves to Jesus’ true identity. As Creator: When Jesus multiplies bread, He is revealing Himself as the same God who fed Israel with manna.

This cause is best explained as a personal Creator. Design...

Listen to this Article Few questions trouble the human heart like this one. Wars, injustice, sickness, and tragedy lead many to ask: “If God is truly good and powerful, why does He allow evil to exist?” This is not just an intellectual problem; it is deeply personal. And yet, Scripture does not shy away from the tension; it addresses it with honesty and with hope. 1. Evil Is Not Created, but Corrupted The Bible makes clear that everything God created was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). Evil did not originate in Him. Evil is not a substance or “thing” God made, but the distortion of what is good. Light exists; darkness is the absence of it. Good exists; evil is the twisting and rebellion against it. Satan and the fallen angels chose rebellion. Humanity, given freedom, chose disobedience. The entrance of sin brought corruption, death, and suffering into the world (Romans 5:12). Evil, then, is parasitic; it cannot exist apart from the good it distorts. 2. Human Freedom and Res...
