The Sheer Volume of Miracles

"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin... If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin, but now they have seen and also hated both me and my father" (John 15:22-24).

People believed he was the Christ precisely because he did more miracles than any one ever did (John 7:31).

We are not the Messiah. We are his representatives as were the prophets in the Old Testament. God sometimes did and does miracles through his messengers, but not to the extent Jesus did.

If all believers did the same volume of miracles as Jesus, how would the world know which was the Christ?
