To understand Christ, one must first understand these signs point to supernatural fulfillment by the power of the Holy Spirit through the name of Christ. Signs are gifts through the Holy Spirit that Christ gave to the church "bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will." These supernatural signs are gifts of the Holy Spirit according to the will of God.
