The Plans of Wicked Men - While Mary and Martha rejoice that Lazarus has been raised from the dead, some of the mourners who witnessed the miracle have returned to Jerusalem “tattling” on Jesus. As we conclude John 11, we are given an insider’s look at the Sanhedrin (the ruling council of the Jewish leaders) and their plans to put Jesus to death. What we discover has an eternal bearing on our lives. Join us this Sunday to find out how.
The New Year is a great time to revisit the story of Jesus, because our hope for the future is only as secure as our grounding in the person and work of Christ for us. Even though this Gospel isn’t about us, it is for us—Jesus is the Word who is life, and that life is the light of all men. No matter what future you are staring down this New Year, I want you to have the unshakable confidence that the Word which spoke life into being holds your life in his hands and the darkness will not overcome it.
