Christ’s Miracles In Faceted Glass
The Miracles of Christ in Church Stained Glass
The earthly life of Jesus can serve as a lesson for us all. The kindness and unconditional love He showed towards all people–even the sinful and impoverished–is something true Christians try to emulate in their own lives of faith. It is the many miracles performed by Jesus in the Bible, however, that unequivocally show us His divinity. Today, many stained glass panels showing Christ’s miracles can be found in churches and cathedrals, and all serve as a source of joyful hope and awe.
The Story Of Christ’s Miracles
The Bible contains many accounts of miracles performed by Jesus, feats that would be impossible for an ordinary man. Raising the dead, casting out demons, altering the very elements of nature, and healing the sick of their afflictions were all things done by the Messiah in the presence of witnesses.
All four Gospels contain accounts of the wondrous acts of Jesus. One described by Matthew, Mark, and Luke is known as The Feeding of the Five Thousand. The story tells us that a crowd of five thousand gathered to see Jesus. He treated them with compassion and helped make those who were ailing well again. When evening came His disciples urged the Savior to send the people away, as the only food they had was two fish and five loaves of bread. Jesus looked toward heaven and told His disciples to distribute the food. Everyone got to eat, and there was even bread to spare. Another miracle described only by John (11 : 1-46) was the raising of Lazarus from the dead. When this friend of Christ grew ill, his family asked for help from Jesus. He delayed coming, though, arriving four days after the burial of Lazarus. He called to the man, “Lazarus, come out,” and the resurrected man stood up and walked from his grave.
Cathedral stained glass windows showing Jesus performing miracles are ones that will inspire wonder in all those who observe their superior beauty as well as their subject matter. The marvels performed by Christ reveal His divine nature and provide us with the knowledge that all things are possible through Him–even miracles.
