Herein lies a very important technicality: the purpose of these miracles was to introduce us to Jesus—not give us perfect emotional, mental, and physical health for the rest of our lives. That Day and that Kingdom is coming, but it has not yet arrived.

Miracles are being presented to my generation as an end-in-of-themselves and this teaching could have disastrous consequences. We’re being told we can expect and demand miracles from God if we just have enough faith. We’re being told God’s will is always to heal and deliver… every person… right now. When that’s not what happens, my generation has no answers or explanations for what went wrong. The Gospel of Emotional and Physical Wellness is pretty convincing to a young believer who just experienced a life-changing miracle—but it leads to a torrential spinout at the first unanswered prayer. - Graysen Borders, Gen Z: Miracles and Martyrdom
