Jesus' miracles were great, but they not only showed us his capabilities on a small scale, but what we can learn about what he will accomplish for our future.
On earth Jesus once controlled natural forces:
(Mark 4:39) . . .that he got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea: “Hush! Be quiet!” And the wind abated. . .
From heaven he will:
(Isaiah 35:1, 2) . . .The wilderness and the parched land will exult, And the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron. 2 Without fail it will blossom. . .
On earth Jesus miraculously fed thousands:
(Matthew 14:19, 20) . . .he took the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said a blessing, and after breaking the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 So they all ate and were satisfied, and they took up the leftover fragments, 12 baskets full.
From heaven he will:
(Psalm 72:16) 16 There will be an abundance of grain on the earth; On the top of the mountains it will overflow. His fruit will flourish as in Lebʹa·non, And in the cities people will blossom like the vegetation of the earth. . .
On earth Jesus healed the sicknesses of many:
(Luke 18:41-43) . . .“What do you want me to do for you?” He said: “Lord, let me recover my sight.” 42 So Jesus said to him: “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 And instantly he recovered his sight. . .
From heaven he will:
(Isaiah 33:24) . . .no resident will say: “I am sick.”. . .
On earth Jesus brought people back to life:
(Luke 8:53-55) . . .they knew she had died. 54 But he took her by the hand and called to her: “Child, get up!” 55 And her spirit returned, and she rose immediately, and he ordered that something be given her to eat.
From heaven he will:
(Revelation 21:3, 4) . . .The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
How we look forward to the time when Jesus brings this earth back to perfection and then this prophecy from God will be fulfilled:
(Psalm 145:16) 16 You open your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
