According to the canonical Gospels of the Bible, Jesus Christ worked many miracles in the course of his ministry. These miracles may be categorized into four groups as cures, exorcisms, resurrection of the dead and control over nature. Some Christian authors argue that the miracles of Jesus were not merely acts of power, but that their chief element was love, and that each miracle includes specific teachings. Jesus tried to keep the focus on his message, saying that is why he came.http://www.biblegateway.com/bible?passage=Mk.%201:38;&version=TNIV; Mk. 1:38
