What are restoration of life miracles, and can you name an example?

• A. Miracles that cure blindness.
• B. Miracles that feed five thousand.
• C. Acts where Jesus raises the dead back to life.
• D. Miracles that turn water into wine.

Answer: (C)

Restoration of life miracles are those where Jesus brings someone back from death, demonstrating power over death itself and pointing to the future hope of resurrection. An example is Jesus raising Jairus’s daughter, where life is restored to the girl after she had died (and similar events like the Lazarus story illustrate this theme). These miracles are distinct from healing, which restores health to the living, or miracles of nature or provision, which meet needs without reversing death. So the act of reviving the dead best fits the idea of restoration of life.
