Q. Is it a scriptural thought that Christ did all His miracles simply as a dependent man? Did He not perform them by virtue of being the God-man? If the latter is correct, why did He say in John 11:41, “Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me”?
A. The power was of God, but no miracle was wrought save in perfect obedience to His Father’s will. The object of the miracles was to show that Christ was the Son of God, hence they are recorded for this end (John 20:30-31). He wrought them by the power of God (Luke 11:20), but He also had power in Himself by virtue of being not only man but God (John 5:21; 10:18). As man He said John 11:41. Christ therefore did not do miracles merely as a dependent man, for He had divine power, neither did He do them merely as Almighty God, for He was a dependent man. He did them in His inseparable and mysterious character of the God-man, Christ Jesus.
