Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 8:28-34




*Friends, in today’s Gospel we see Jesus, the miracle worker, healing two
demoniacs. I think it’s hard to deny that the first Christians were
intensely interested in the miracles of Jesus and that they didn’t see them
as mere literary symbols. Anglican theologian N.T. Wright argues that it’s
hard to explain the enormous popularity of Jesus apart from this
fascination with his wonder-working.Though God typically lets the universe
run according to its natural rhythms and patterns, what is to prevent God
from shaping it or influencing it occasionally in remarkable ways in order
to signal his purpose and his presence? For evidence of this, I would like
to draw your attention to **an extraordinary book.* It bears the simple
title* Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts, and it is
written by the Protestant scholar Craig Keener. It is a truly exhaustive
study of the theology and phenomenology of miracles, but the most
surprising and exciting section of the book—at least for me—was his
rehearsal of some of the literally millions of reports of miracles that
come, even today, from every corner of the world. If you doubt God still
works in the world today, pick up that book and think again.*
