The Latin word mirus is translated in English as full of wonder (wonderful), and is the word from which we get our English word miracle. This summer we are reflecting as a community, on the Maker of miracles, the Maker of the wonderful. Isaiah 9:6 declares the name of Jesus, the miracle Maker, as Wonderful. Could it be that while we have understood the miracles of Jesus as some sort of extra special power, are instead they are an outflow of Himself. That’s just who He is, wonderful, miracle. Young John, the disciple who Jesus loved, understood this when at the end of His gospel he said “Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written. (John 21:25) John’s point?! These miracles were not single events but just who Jesus was... and is.
