Why a Wedding?
Jesus provides six signs to John the Baptist’s disciples: Blind see, Lame walk, Lepers are cleansed, Deaf hear, Dead are raised and the Gospel is preached to the poor. Why not raise the dead? Why a wedding?
The Dead are Raised
This is from the Why Miracles series. The fifth sign that Jesus is Messiah is that the Dead are Raised.
The Deaf Hear
Why Miracles? – The deaf hear is the fourth of six signs that Jesus is the Messiah, the expected one. Unlike the first three (blind, lame, and leper), the deaf are not prohibited from entrance to the temple. They represent Israel who are willfully deaf, ignoring the words and works of God.
