“But though He [the Lord Jesus] had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him” (John 12:37).
The Lord Jesus had done many miracles during His earthly ministry, and all of these miracles demonstrated clearly who He was. However, according to our verse today, the Jewish people did not believe on Him, even though they saw all these miracles. Their minds were blinded, and this only shows that miracles by themselves do not bring people to Christ.
There is no doubt that the Jewish people were impressed with these miracles, and were very glad when they themselves had their diseases healed, or were fed when they were hungry. But they did not want to believe that the Lord Jesus was the Son of God.
The Lord Jesus is not here in the world today, doing miracles, but He speaks from heaven by His Spirit. You and I can now appreciate who He is through His Word, and the greatest miracle that God does today is to give new life in Christ to those who come to Him.
