Jesus died, yet appeared with a physical body not constrained by walls (Luke 24:28\u201333). There is no scientific explanation; it was supernatural. God is <em>beyond<\/em> nature; he can work beyond the natural laws he created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But other Easter miracles have scientific explanations: the darkness preceding Jesus\u2019s death .&nbsp;.&nbsp;. the earthquakes tearing the temple curtain and rolling the stone from Jesus\u2019s tomb (Matthew 27:45\u201354; 28:1\u20132). Why call them miracles if they can be explained by science?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recall God\u2019s second-most significant miracle: parting the sea for the Israelites escaping Egypt. God didn\u2019t do this supernaturally; he sent a wind (Exodus 14:21\u201322). God is also <em>within<\/em> nature; he can perform remarkable acts <em>hypernaturally<\/em>, using the natural laws he created in an extraordinary way. Such acts are no less miraculous than supernatural acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the case with the darkness and earthquakes; they were extraordinary natural events that occurred at the just-right time, place, and intensity to accomplish God\u2019s purpose. These events couldn\u2019t have been random; God must have exercised his power over nature. They were miracles that made even the Roman soldiers recognize the divine character of Jesus (Matthew 27:54).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Easter story thus shows that God works beyond and within nature. It shows that Jesus is human and divine. God is awesome but personal. We have a personal Savior, crucified to bring us forgiveness of sin and eternal life. What good news!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the Easter miracles revealing God&#8217;s power over nature and the divine-human nature of Jesus, affirming our personal Savior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":588,"featured_media":347083,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_person_authors":[402077],"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":"","_classifai_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_error":"","_classifai_text_to_speech_scheduled":false},"categories":[63975,64006],"tags":[70598,70606,67006],"discipline":[64072],"reading-level":[64149],"class_list":["post-347080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beliefs-values","category-death-resurrection","tag-biblical-validation","tag-christian-faith","tag-resurrection","discipline-astrobiology","reading-level-advanced-deep-dive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
