The New Testament without the miracles would be far easier to believe. But the trouble is, it would not be worth believing. Without the miracles the New Testament would contain an account of a holy man'not a perfect man, it is true, for He was led to make lofty claims to which He had no right'but a man at least far holier than the rest of men. But of what benefit would such a man, and the death which marked His failure, be to us?
