Miracles and Meaning
- A miracle isn't just extraordinary or unexplainable; it points towards meaning.
- It connects seemingly unrelated events to a purpose, revealing a deeper significance.
Restoration of Purpose
- Miracles reveal and restore things to their intended purpose, like healing restores a body to health.
- This restoration highlights the ideal state and the reason for existence.
