A west coast seminary offered a course called Miracles. The class was withdrawn after one semester. The teachers failed to define miracle. Lots of ideas were bounced around in an atmosphere of controversy, but seminary leaders deemed it unprofitable.
Religious leaders in Jesus’ day considered miracles evidence of divine calling, really BIG miracles.
Eugene Peterson hit a home run when he wrote his book, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places.
It turns out that the hardest thing is to believe that God’s work is all being worked out in and under the conditions of our humanity. Everything that Jesus does and says takes place within the limits and conditions of our humanity. No fireworks. No special effects. Yes, there are miracles, plenty of them. But because for the most part they are so much a part of the fabric of everyday life, very few notice. The miraculousness of miracle is obscured by the familiarity of the setting, the ordinariness of the people involved.
Come to think of it, I have missed a lot of miracles while looking for fireworks.
