miracle, wonder, sign

Definition:

A "miracle" is something amazing that is not possible unless God causes it to happen.

Examples of miracles that Jesus did include calming a storm and healing a blind man.
Miracles are sometimes called "wonders" because they cause people to be filled with wonder or amazement.
The term "wonder" can also refer more generally to amazing displays of God's power, such as when he created the heavens and the earth.
Miracles can also be called "signs" because they are used as indicators or evidence that God is the all-powerful one who has complete authority over the universe.
Some miracles were God's acts of redemption, such as when he rescued the Israelites from being slaves in Egypt and when he protected Daniel from being hurt by lions.
Other wonders were God's acts of judgment, such as when he sent a worldwide flood in Noah's time and when he brought terrible plagues on the land of Egypt during the time of Moses.
Many of God's miracles were the physical healings of sick people or bringing dead people back to life.
God's power was shown in Jesus when he healed people, calmed storms, walked on water, and raised people from the dead. These were all miracles.
God also enabled the prophets and the apostles to perform miracles of healing and other things that were only possible through God's power.

Possible translations of "miracles" or "wonders" could include "impossible things that God does" or "powerful works of God" or "amazing acts of God."
The frequent expression "signs and wonders" could be translated as "proofs and miracles" or "miraculous works that prove God's power" or "amazing miracles that show how great God is."
Note that this meaning of a miraculous sign is different from a sign that gives proof or evidence for something. The two can be related.
