When I was a member of an orthodox church some years ago, the question was asked of a Sabbath-school teacher why miracles were not performed now by Jesus' disciples, as eighteen hundred years ago?
The teacher replied, "At that time it was necessary for those works to be done in order to prove that Jesus was the Son of God, and to show his power so that men would believe on him. But now the gospel has been so widely spread and Jesus so generally acknowledged to be the Saviour of the world, that miracles are no longer necessary to confirm the word."
Now where in the Bible can be found authority for such a statement? We have never been able to find it. All Christians will admit that Jesus is the Great Teacher and came to show us the way of life.
