Jesus Christ's power was evident in His miraculous works, which served as proof of His identity as the Messiah. He performed miracles such as restoring sight to the blind, enabling the lame to walk, cleansing lepers, restoring hearing to the deaf, raising the dead, and preaching the gospel to the poor. His healing miracles demonstrated the power of God, as power went out from Him and healed all who sought to touch Him. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, enabling Him to go about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. His miracles were not merely to astonish but to authenticate His divine mission, forming an integral part of His teaching and proving His purpose. Jesus' recorded miracles symbolize God's power to meet both spiritual and physical needs, reflecting the wonderful rule of the powerful yet merciful King of God's Kingdom. He never used His supernatural power for personal gain or to create a sensation, always focusing the glory on His Father and declaring God's existence and sovereignty through His purposeful and careful use of divine power.

With a word of command, Christ was able to deliver two demon-possessed men from the terrible uncleanness that demons cause. No one could have as big a problem as these men, possessed by a legion of demons, yet it took only a few words from Jesus to set them free. The world tried many ways to restrain and control these men in Gadara, but the only effective solution was God's power through Christ. Man's idea was to start on the outside with chains and other bonds, but Jesus began on the inside with the Word of God, which is not chained. Christ corrects the problem at the source, cleaning out the inside, which is the best way to address the issue on the outside. There is great power in the Word of God; it can transform a person dramatically and works mightily in those who have faith in Christ.

Two miracles of Jesus Christ recorded in Scripture demonstrate His extraordinary power over nature by calming storms on the Sea of Galilee. Despite His physical and mental fatigue from teaching and facing accusations, He unselfishly serves others, showing complete trust in His Almighty Father's care and protection. With full knowledge of His God-given authority over the winds and the sea, He remains peacefully asleep during a sudden, terrifying storm, even as waves beat into the boat and fill it with water. Jesus rebukes His disciples for their fearfulness and little faith, as they fail to fully trust that His power remains whether He is awake or asleep. As the Son of God, with only the power of His word, He speaks, and the wind ceases, bringing a great calm after the fierce storm. This miracle over the environment contrasts the disharmony and disorder of nature against the power, order, and peace of the Creator. He treats the storm and sea as antagonistic forces under a dominating power, commanding them with authority as if muzzling a maniac that must be bound and restrained. The result of this miracle leaves His disciples awestruck, granting them newfound understanding of the power and glory of their Lord and Master. His mighty word dwarfs the power of earthly elements, stirring them deeply with reverence, wonder, and godly fear. This display reveals what the full measure of God's Spirit can accomplish through a faithful human being, affirming that the waves of the world will never overwhelm His disciples because He is with them.

In the arrest of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, His power was evident from beginning to end, as He remained in complete control of the situation. He delayed in the Garden while the arresting party approached, voluntarily went forth to meet them, and surrendered Himself. At the moment of arrest, He demonstrated His authority over circumstances by showing power towards the soldiers, grace towards His disciples, and mercy to His enemies. His enemies, armed with weapons and lanterns, came in darkness to seize Him, yet they were right to fear Him, for no amount of force could compel Him to do anything against His will. He chose to give Himself up willingly. A striking incident reveals His power further: as the soldiers approached, He initiated the arrest by asking whom they sought. Despite the darkness or a supernatural blindness, they did not recognize Him and answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." When He responded with the majestic words "I Am," the arresting party drew back and fell to the ground, rendered helpless until He released them by repeating the question. These words, echoing the divine name revealed to Moses, demonstrated His authority, overpowering them with the sheer force of His presence. This display of power at the moment of His arrest served multiple purposes. First, it showed that He was more than man, manifesting His divine nature alongside His humanity. Second, it underscored that His death was voluntary, not coerced, as no troops or weapons could have forced Him had He been unwilling. On previous occasions, He had walked away unharmed, and He could have done so again. Third, it made clear to those arresting Him that they were dealing with someone supernatural, leaving them without excuse for their actions, as they could not plead ignorance of His divine glory. Additionally, His power was evident in His protection of His disciples during the arrest. He commanded the officers and soldiers to let His disciples go, ensuring their safety and fulfilling His earlier prophecies. This act of grace extended beyond that moment, reflecting His constant preservation of those given to Him by the Father. Even towards His enemies, He showed mercy at the time of His arrest, despite their intent to lead Him to execution. His control remained absolute, as seen in His refusal to testify against Himself during the preliminary hearing, knowing the law and demanding a proper trial, further illustrating His authority even in the face of injustice.

Modern Bible readers often have difficulty relating to ancient metaphors, including agricultural, weights and measures, idioms, and government—especially monarchy and the extensive throne room episodes used to illustrate God's supreme authority. We see a dramatic contrast between Solomon's opulent throne surrounded by 14 carved lions, symbolizing immense earthly power, with Almighty God's heavenly throne in Revelation 4-5 surrounded by majestic angelic beings including the 24 elders, 7 spirits, and 4 living creatures, worshiping Him continually, demonstrating the purity of His presence, as well as the perfection of His heavenly government. As God's called-out saints, we must humbly express awe, praise, and worship of His incomparable sovereignty, power, and might.
