"So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands." Acts 14:3 They are a ‘wonder’ because they are often a ‘wonderful’ blessing and often make us exclaim, "Wow! That's amazing!". There’s no need to ask somebody who just got miraculously healed of an incurable disease what the purpose of a miracle is! However, there is a deeper purpose to miracles than the physical benefit or blessing because they reveal a hidden reality. Under the Old Covenant of Moses there was an emphasis on the law and Gods judgement. So in the Old Testament we often see miracles of punishment and retribution such as the ten plagues of Egypt. However, there was a significant shift in the role of miracles with the advent of Jesus.
