Signs of compassion, authority, and the Kingdom of God
This collection brings together the central events of the Passion and Resurrection, followed by the distinct miracle accounts recorded in the four canonical Gospels. Each entry includes a short explanation and the relevant Scripture passages.
These three events are placed first as requested. A careful distinction matters: the Crucifixion and Jesus’ death are the saving events of the Passion, not usually counted among the public miracles he performed. The Resurrection is the central miracle of Christian faith.
