Anyone who wants to travel internationally is required to have a passport. A passport comes from the country in which the person has citizenship, and it gives the person’s name, birthdate, and physical characteristics. When entering other countries or reentering his home country, the passport is used to ensure a person is who he says he is. 
 
When Philip asked Jesus to show him the Father, Jesus replied that anyone who has seen Him has seen the Father. Like a passport that proves a person’s identity, Jesus’ powerful teaching and amazing miracles prove that He is God. When He was healing the sick, raising the dead, and forgiving sins—things only God can do—Jesus was showing His divine authority and power.  
 
As we learn about the miracles of Jesus, we might be amazed or excited. But be careful not to miss the point. Jesus’ miracles were signs that are meant to point us to God and help us to believe in Him. Jesus’ miracles are meant to show us the beauty of God’s plan to restore His relationship with His creation. Jesus came to dwell with sinners and died to offer them new life in Him. God continues to dwell with those who believe in Jesus by sending the Holy Spirit—who is God living with and within every believer. When you hear of Jesus’ miracles, realize that God is showing you His plan to come and restore a relationship with You. 
 
God has always existed as three Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father sent the Son to rescue us from sin. He gives us the Holy Spirit to comfort us, show us our sins, and guide us as we live for God’s glory.

For Fun
Make a memory book with photos, letters, drawings, or similar items to remember the ways God has been at work in your family. Think about the times God has shown His faithfulness to be with you, to help you, and to remind you of His love. Explain that—like the miracles of Jesus—the amazing things we see God do are meant to reveal how much He loves us and how much we can trust Him. Keep the book in a place that can be revisited from time to time for a reminder of who God is and how He is working in your family!
To Serve
Work with kids to study some of the miracles Jesus did in His ministry. Allow kids to write scripts for reenacting those stories. Volunteer to teach younger kids on a Sunday at your church and use the skits to teach them about Jesus. If you have kids in your neighborhood, host a backyard Bible club and teach the miracles to kids each day.
