The Reaction To His Miracles Is Exactly What We Would Expect

Our next point is extremely important! The reaction to Jesus' miracles from those who observed them is exactly what we would expect if they occurred. Those who witnessed the miracles of Jesus were not gullible people expecting miraculous deeds. It must be recognized that the people living at the time of Jesus were as skeptical of the miraculous as modern man. One need only look at the responses by the people to the miracles of Jesus to see that this is the case.

The Disciples Were The First Unbelievers Of The Resurrection

For example, the disciples were the first unbelievers of Jesus' resurrection. When certain women returned from the tomb and told them Jesus had risen, His disciples responded as follows:

And these words appeared to them as nonsense, and they would not believe them (Luke 24:11).

When Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth, the response was amazement. The crowd said.

Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of the blind (John 9:32).
