MIRACLES ARE NATURAL NOT UNNATURAL

'When Jesus expels demons and heals the sick, he is driving out of creation the powers of destruction, and is healing and restoring created beings who are hurt and sick. The lordship of God to which the healings witness, restores creation to health. Jesus' healings are not supernatural miracles in a natural world. They are the only truly "natural" thing in a world that is unnatural, demonized and wounded.' 
Jurgen Moltmann in Dane Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers,  p.31.
