Jesus Christ performed many miracles, demonstrating his power over nature and spirits, and thus confirming that the Kingdom of God is at hand. The ministry of Jesus is centered on the establishment of God's imminent Kingdom, which ended the dominion of the evil one over the world, present ever since sin and death entered mankind. The miracles were Jesus' chief weapon in the battle with evil, and confirming that he was not only the Messiah, but the very Son of God
