Hebrews 2:1-4

“By signs and wonders and by various miracles”

• Mark 16:20

• Virtually every person believes that miracles happen, even if they do not believe in God. The Big Bang would have violated the laws of physics, so if it happened, it constituted a miracle!

• The same problem exists for the origin of life. The law of biogenesis would have to be broken. Life would have had to come from non-life.

• David Hume reasoned that because miracles are rare, they have little evidence. Wise people don’t believe in things with little evidence.

• Norman Geisler rebutted Hume’s argument by pointing out that rarity of events is not the issue. Rare things happen constantly!

• Exodus 14:21-28 – How do we know this happened?

• Acts 2:22-24 – It would be pretty hard to fake this!

• Acts 13:6-12 – Paul’s miracle proved his words were from God. The proconsul was amazed at the teaching (not the miracle itself!).

“Word spoken through angels … just”

• Hebrews 1:1-2

• Hebrews 10:28-29

• Psalms 51:4

“How shall we escape it we neglect so great a salvation?”

• Hebrews 2:1
