Now, when you come to the New Testament, there is one dominant theme that marks the life of Jesus Christ,

He is marked out as being divine by signs and wonders, by performing that which is humanly impossible and inexplicable.

Now let's turn to the Word of God and look at the miraculous Jesus and just look at several

elements of the miraculous life of our Lord.

First, His miraculous birth, Matthew Chapter 1.
