The most amazing revelation occurred to me one day while reading Hebrews 13. Here the author, possibly Paul, is writing to the Jewish believers about 30 years after the death of Christ. He says,
"Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith."
I can imagine the Hebrew audience reading this and thinking just like us. "What do you mean imitate the faith of our leaders? Our leaders are Peter, James, John, Stephen, and the other disciples. Don't you know they spent time with Jesus! They walk in miracles because they spent three years with him." Does this not sound like the excuses we hear today? Miracles ceased with the apostles. Miracles are no longer for today.
I believe the author knew what their response would be, and therefore, his very next statement is,
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
Jesus is still doing miracles today.
