When we think about the miracles of Yahshua (Jesus), a few stories often come to mind: turning water into wine, feeding the five thousand, healing the blind, or walking on water.
These are the showstoppers, the ones that light up church sermons and children’s Bible lessons.
But did you know that there are miracles performed by Yahshua that are just as profound, yet rarely spoken about?
These forgotten miracles are no less powerful, no less transformative, and no less packed with meaning.
In fact, they often hold lessons that dig deeper into the heart of who Jesus is and what He wants us to learn.
Today, I want to take you on a journey through some of these lesser-known wonders—miracles that deserve more than a passing glance. Ready? Let’s dive in.
1. The Coin in the Fish’s Mouth (Matthew 17:24-27)
Imagine this: Christ is approached about paying the temple tax.
Now, this wasn’t an insignificant issue.
It was a legal and cultural expectation.
Instead of pulling a coin out of a pouch or asking one of His disciples to chip in, Jesus does something remarkable.
He tells Peter to go fishing.
Peter casts his line, reels in a fish, and inside its mouth is the exact coin needed to pay the tax.
Why is this miracle so astonishing?
It’s not just about Jesus’ divine power over nature but also His ability to meet practical needs in miraculous ways.
The Messiah could have created the coin out of thin air, but He chose to involve Peter in the process.
This teaches us about partnership with God.
Sometimes, the answers to our prayers require us to act in faith, even when the instructions seem unusual.
Friend, has God ever asked you to do something that didn’t make sense?
Maybe He’s inviting you to cast your own line of faith into the waters of uncertainty.
Who knows?
The provision you need might be waiting there.
2. Healing the Servant’s Ear (Luke 22:49-51)
In the chaos of Jesus’ arrest, Peter, ever the impulsive one, strikes the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
It’s a moment of violence and confusion.
And yet, Yahshua’s response is utterly unexpected. He reaches out, touches the man’s ear, and heals him.
Think about this for a moment.
Jesus is about to be betrayed, beaten, and crucified.
He has every reason to focus on His own impending suffering.
Yet, in this moment of turmoil, He pauses to heal the very servant of His enemies.
This act is a quiet but profound demonstration of Yahshua’s love for all people, even those who stand against Him.
How often do we forget that Christ’s miracles weren’t just about physical healing?
They were about showing us the depth of His love and forgiveness.
This miracle challenges us to examine our own hearts.
Can we show compassion to those who oppose us?
Can we pause in our own struggles to extend grace?
3. The Withering of the Fig Tree (Mark 11:12-14, 20-21)
This miracle often perplexes readers.
The Savior, hungry and approaching a fig tree, finds it barren.
In response, He curses it, and the next day, it has withered from the roots.
At first glance, this seems out of character.
Why would the Savior curse a tree?
But this wasn’t just about a tree.
The fig tree symbolized Israel, a nation that appeared outwardly religious but was spiritually barren.
Jesus was making a powerful point about the importance of genuine faith and fruitfulness.
It’s not enough to look the part; we must bear fruit in our lives—fruit that glorifies God.
This miracle is a wake-up call.
Are there areas in our lives that appear lush but are barren beneath the surface?
Christ’s action reminds us to examine our faith, our actions, and our heart.
Are we rooted in Him?
Are we producing the fruit of love, joy, peace, and kindness?

4. Healing the Blind Man in Stages (Mark 8:22-26)
Most of Yahshua’s healings were instant, but this one was different.
A blind man is brought to Yahshua in Bethsaida.
Jesus spits on the man’s eyes and lays His hands on him.
When He asks the man if he can see, the man replies, “I see men like trees, walking.”
The Messiah lays His hands on him again, and his vision is fully restored.
Why did Yahshua heal in stages here?
Was His power limited?
Of course not.
This miracle demonstrates that healing, both physical and spiritual, is often a process.
It’s a reminder that God’s work in our lives doesn’t always happen instantly.
Sometimes, it takes time for us to see clearly.
If you’re in a season where it feels like your prayers aren’t being answered fully, take heart.
Yahweh may be working in stages, bringing you to a place of clarity and wholeness step by step. Trust the process. Trust Him.
5. Turning Water into Wine at Cana (John 2:1-11)
Wait a minute—isn’t this one of Yahshua’s most well-known miracles?
Yes, but let’s look deeper.
At first glance, this seems like a miracle of convenience. The wedding hosts ran out of wine, and Yeshua provided more.
But this wasn’t just about saving a party. It was His very first miracle, a sign that pointed to something much greater.
The water jars Jesus used were for ceremonial washing, a symbol of the old covenant.
By turning water into wine, He was pointing to the new covenant in His blood—a covenant of joy, abundance, and grace.
And He didn’t just make any wine; He made the best wine, reminding us that Yahweh’s blessings are not only sufficient but abundant.
Have you ever felt like you’ve run out of “wine” in your life?
Maybe your joy, hope, or faith feels depleted.
This miracle reminds us that the Messiah can take the ordinary and transform it into something extraordinary.
He can fill your emptiness with His abundance.
6. Raising the Widow’s Son (Luke 7:11-17)
This miracle often gets overshadowed by the raising of Lazarus, but it’s just as poignant.
As Jesus approaches the town of Nain, He encounters a funeral procession.
A widow’s only son has died, leaving her without support or hope.
Moved with compassion, Yahshua stops the procession, touches the bier, and says, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”
The boy sits up, and Yahshua gives him back to his mother.
This miracle highlights Yahshua’s deep compassion.
He wasn’t asked to intervene; He acted purely out of love.
It’s a reminder that Yahweh sees our pain, even when we don’t cry out for help.
He is a God of compassion, a God who restores hope when all seems lost.
Friend, if you’re carrying grief or loss, know that Jesus sees you.
He is the resurrection and the life, and He can breathe hope into even the darkest situations.
