John

Jesus continues to address the Pharisees about their lack of faith. They put their faith in their own righteousness—their own ability to follow the Law—but ironically, they failed to see how the Law pointed to Jesus, the only one who could fulfill all the Law. Their faith was misguided. How are you and I similar?

Today’s message flows out of last week’s. There, Jesus healed a man, who had been lame for 38 years, but he did not believe. Here, Jesus proclaims He will do even greater works than this, works of life and death. As we “shelter in place,” Jesus’ words of life—his declaration of authority over death itself should bring us great encouragement. He holds death and life in His hands, and we can trust Him.
