Which term describes the miracles where Jesus raises someone from the dead?

• A. Restoration of life miracles.
• B. Healing miracles.
• C. Exorcisms.
• D. Exhortations.

Answer: (A)

Miracles that restore life show Jesus’ authority over death itself. When he raises someone from the dead, the act isn’t just about curing an illness; it’s reversing death and bringing a person back to living life. In the Gospels, these events include Jairus’s daughter, the widow’s son at Nain, and Lazarus—each instance demonstrates that Jesus can give life back to the deceased. This emphasis on life restored distinguishes them from healing miracles (which address sickness or disability while the person remains alive) and from exorcisms (which deal with demonic oppression). Exhortations aren’t miracles at all. These life-restoration acts also foreshadow the broader hope of the resurrection, underscoring Jesus’ power as the bringer of life.
