Believe not Me then believe in My miracles

Proof in the Works: Jesus invites, "if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not". However, if He is doing them—such as healing the blind and raising the dead—He expects belief based on that evidence.

In John 10:37-38, 

Jesus tells skeptical listeners to judge His claim to deity not by His words alone, but by His miracles("works"). He argues that these divine acts, which align with the Father's, provide undeniable proof of their unity, urging skeptics to believe the evidence even if they doubt Him personally. 

Key Meaning and Context

• Proof in the Works: Jesus invites, "if I do not the works of my Father, believe me not". However, if He is doing them—such as healing the blind and raising the dead—He expects belief based on that evidence.
• Unity with the Father: The ultimate purpose of this appeal is so people may "know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father".
• The Argument: This passage represents a final, public appeal to evidence before His crucifixion, challenging the religious leaders' rejection despite undeniable divine actions.
• No Blind Faith: Jesus asks for faith based on verifiable,, observable actions (miracles, mercy, and teachings) that mirror the Father's character. 

In summary, John 10:37-38 highlights that Jesus's actions are in complete harmony with God, providing a solid foundation for believing He is the Son of God. 

This phrase is 

a paraphrase of Jesus' words in John 10:37–38, where He challenges skeptics to believe the evidence of His miraculous works if they refuse to believe His claims. It highlights that the signs (miracles) testify to His divine authority and oneness with God the Father, even if personal belief is lacking. 

• Context: In John 10:37-39, Jesus is facing opposition and points to the miracles as undeniable proof of His mission.
• Meaning: If Jesus is not performing the Father's works, He says, do not believe Him. However, if He is doing those works, people should trust the evidence of the miracles to understand that the Father is in Him.
• Purpose: The goal of this statement is to encourage understanding and faith, even among skeptics, by focusing on the tangible, divine actions (the "works" or miracles). 

The phrase emphasizes that the works themselves—such as healing or other miracles—serve as a testimony to Jesus's divinity and connection with God. 

Jesus performed over 30 to 50 documented miracles in the Gospels, classified into healings, nature miracles, exorcisms, and resurrections, showcasing divine authority. Key miracles include changing water to wine, feeding thousands, walking on water, calming storms, curing leprosy/blindness, and raising Lazarus.
