Progressions in Christ's miracles

In the Boat:

1st time - Jesus is in the boat with Peter
2nd time - the Lord is asleep in the boat
3rd time - Jesus not in the boat during the storm - ended with Peter walking on water

Took more faith each time!

Death:

1st - Jairus' daughter newly dead
2nd - widow's son - put on cart
3rd - Lazarus decomposing in the grave

Death gives way to Christ! Christ is 'Death of death and Hell's Destruction'

Christ repeats the same miracles time and again!

Greatest repeat is Christ:

He is Adam repeated - Man as man should be. Christians are joined to the perfect, ideal man. Are found sinless IN Him.
