ARE MIRACLES NECESSARY FOR BELIEF
“And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all
things that John spake of this man were true.” John 10:41
John the Baptist, though “filled with the Holy Ghost” and
the greatest man ever born before Christ (Luke
1:15; Matt. 11:11), never performed a miracle! Thus, signs and wonders are
never a necessary—or even desirable—accompaniment to the ministry of a true man
of God, especially today, when we have the complete Bible.
There is no doubt that in that entire region the effect of
John's ministry was still felt; and evidently there were those who remembered
the identification. They were talking. The tense of the verb expresses the
general conversation. John did no miracles, but John was right. Everything he
told us about this Man has come true. The last sentence is, "Many believed on Him there."
Put the emphasis on "there."
If Jerusalem had rejected Him, many believed on Him there.
