Christ came to lift up man, morally, out of the state of mind and heart to which a fallen nature had reduced him; so that those who heard Him bore witness, that “never man spake like this man.” In all this God was with Him, so that Jesus could say, “The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works.” Miracles thus accompanied His teaching and His doctrines, that any who were astonished at His words might be encouraged to believe them, by the works which accredited them and Him.
