Miracles Confirm the Message
“And many came to him. And they said, ‘John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.’ And many believed in him there.” – John 10:41-42
Some people are waiting for a miracle before they believe. They think they need a sign, something flashy and undeniable. But in this passage, we see a different kind of faith. The people didn’t see fire from heaven or water turned into wine. What they had was the consistent witness of someone they trusted. And it was enough.
John the Baptist never performed a miracle. He didn’t heal the sick or raise the dead. But his life carried weight because his words matched his actions. He pointed to Jesus, and when Jesus showed up, everything he had said was proven true. That kind of integrity goes further than most people realize.
There is nothing wrong with miracles. God still works in powerful ways, and we should believe for those moments. But the loudest confirmation of the Gospel is not always supernatural power. Sometimes it is the quiet faithfulness of a life lived with integrity. When your words and your walk align, people notice. And when they trust you, they’re more likely to listen when you talk about Jesus.
You don’t need to perform signs to make an impact. You just need to live in a way that backs up what you say. That means showing up, being honest, staying faithful, and keeping your eyes on Christ. People are watching. They are deciding what they believe about God partly based on what they see in you.
Let your life be the miracle that confirms the message. You might not do signs, but if everything you say about Jesus is proven true in how you live, that might be all someone needs to believe.
