You are correct. It also served to shame the authorities that humiliated and cruxified him.

No miracles after His resurrection?!?!?! He appeared to the disciples 2 times while they were in the house when the door was locked. He didn't walk through the door, He just appeared in the room with them. This would be 2 miracles. He was alive with open wounds that Thomas could put his fingers into, to see and believe. What other human can do that? Another miracle. He moved the rock away from the tomb after He rose from the dead. A rock so heavy that it took several men to put it there at cover the tomb's opening. An other miracle. He ascended into Heaven. An other miracle.
I'd say He did perform a few miracles after He rose from the dead. We don't have this existence unless it's God's will.

He did perform a miracle after his resurrection in gospel of John, Chapter 21, almost exactly mirroring the miracle he performed in Luke 5, near the start of his ministry. This question seems to assume that if Jesus had performed no miracles in his earthly life, he would have had no purpose. If he hadn't performed miracles, people with nothing better to do would have questioned why he didn't use his divine power to help people. But his actual purpose was to save mankind from hell by replacing them in his crucifixion and death. His resurrection validated his claims to be the Son of God, and granted all of his believers eternal life with God.

Performed not miracles after Resurrection?
Just what Bible have you been reading?
I find
JUST
the opposite. For example:
What you you call being able to disguise himself so his disciples did not know it was him as they walked along the way?
What you you call appearing before the disciples inside a room locked up?
Or,
What you you call appearing a second a week later under the same circumstances?
Read also John 21:25 and Acts 1:1-9.

I see that some of my bretheren have corrected you on your premise.
It's okay, the Bible is full of surprises. I forget what I read sometimes too.
You are right when you say that Jesus showed that humans are more than a physical flesh and blood body. He preached the Kingdom of Heaven. He talked about the spirit. Not all of us have had the oppotunity, the gift of having spiritual experiences that we can put our finger on ( figuratively speaking) . But for those of us who have can say that there is another part of ourselves that show us that we are not just flesh and blood. I myself have been out of my body before I became Christian. And I do not think that only certain people have a spirit, I think we all do. It's just that many of us are completely unaware of it.

For the record, Jesus did oversee miracles after his resurrection. John 21:4-6
"Jesus stood on the beach, but the disciples did not, of course, discern that it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them: “Young children, YOU do not have anything to eat, do YOU?” They answered “No!” to him. He said to them: “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and YOU will find some.” Then they cast it, but they were no longer able to draw it in because of the multitude of the fishes.
The purpose of his resurrection was to make his way to his heavenly father and do according to Hebrews 9:24

In Christ's life of perfect obedience to God's will, His suffering, death, and resurrection, God provided the only means of atonement for human sin, so that those who by faith accept this atonement may have eternal life, and the whole creation may better understand the infinite and holy love of the Creator. This perfect atonement vindicates the righteousness of God's law and the graciousness of His character; for it both condemns our sin and provides for our forgiveness. The death of Christ is substitutionary and expiatory, reconciling and transforming. The resurrection of Christ proclaims God's triumph over the forces of evil, and for those who accept the atonement assures their final victory over sin and death. It declares the Lordship of Jesus Christ, before whom every knee in heaven and on earth will bow. (John 3:16; Isa. 53; 1 Peter 2:21, 22; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4, 20-22; 2 Cor. 5:14, 15, 19-21; Rom. 1:4; 3:25; 4:25; 8:3, 4; 1 John 2:2; 4:10; Col. 2:15; Phil. 2:6-11.)

His purpose was two-fold, to ascend back to the Father and to reassure His Apostles and Disciples.
Remember too that Jesus rose with a glorified body and this is how all will be after the ressurrection on the last day.

His purpose was to not stay dead....
But to give us a hope of the same resurrection. He defeated death so that you and I could so the same someday.
And we will get new bodies someday (1 Corinthians 15:51-58)

No, not really. The purpose for the coming of Christ was to reconcile men to God, period. The greatest miracle that Christ performed was rising from the dead, defeating sin, and giving us power to become the sons and daughters of God. The Bible tells us that if Christ did not rise from the dead, then we are still in our sins and our faith is in vain. It has everything to do with salvation.

I don't understand why you are qualifying your belief about the resurrection with whether or not Jesus performed miracles after he rose from the dead? What exactly does that have to do with anything?
He was resurrected...the ultimate miracle. His appearance to his apostles and others were miracles...all of them.
The resurrection tells us we have eternal life with God through Christ.
