The Coolest Super Hero
I had always learned that people in the bible perform miracles to authenticate the message that they are speaking. To prove that it really was from God.
It seems to get kinda fishy every now and then though…sometimes it seems that the miracle workers is just doing it for their own convenience.
I have been studying through the characters of Elijah and Elisha and they both seem to do things that seem selfish.
Like getting widows to make them food. I mean that would be really cool if I could get widows to cook me bread from an unending supply of flour and oil.
Then both prophets throw their coat into the water so that it parts enabling them to walk across on dry land. Man, I would never have to get my feet wet again.
Also they both raised kids from the dead. I mean that would be sweet! Then you would have these little kids who would be way better then those kids that you support over in Asia or Africa. Instead of giving them money for clothes and school, man, you raised these kids back to life. They better send you a letter and picture at least once a month.

True, but in our time, God is working more subtle miracles. We ARE raising those kids in Africa and South America from the dead, especially if they receieve life in Christ because of our support.
