The Miracles of Jesus
Ìý
Today, miracles are seen as
supernatural acts that defy the
laws of nature; but in the first
century AD, miracles were
seen as a secret code – a set
of signs and ciphers known
only to the Jews.
Ìý
As codes, they possessed
many layers of meaning –
about history, Israel, the
Romans, God and Satan, good
and evil.
Ìý
But above all, the
miracles were clues to the
identity of Jesus
of Nazareth.
Ìý
Presented by Rageh Omaar,
this series explores what the
miracles said about Jesus.
Ìý
Who did the disciples and his
followers think He was? And
did Jesus see Himself as the
son of God?
Ìý
The latest
historical and archeological
findings point to answers
as surprising as they
are fascinating.
