Read John 11:45-57
Just after the raising of Lazarus from the dead, word got back to the Pharisees and the leading priests about what Jesus had done.After gathering the high council together and discussing the matter, what was their greatest concern (see vv. 45-48)?
Does it surprise you that the religious leaders were more concerned about their religious traditions and structures than they were about the lives that were being changed for the better?
After Caiaphas the High Priest had time to contemplate what was going on, what was his response and solution to the “problem” of Jesus (see vv. 49-50)?
Ironically, in proclaiming that Jesus must die, Caiaphas inadvertently prophesied that Jesus would die for all of GOD’s children scattered throughout the world.How can those who are against GOD ultimately fulfill GOD’s purposes (consider the stubbornness of Pharaoh in Exodus)?
After the raising of Lazarus, John tells us that Jesus stopped his public ministry.Where did He go and what did He do after this?
Is Jesus' influence still disruptive in the religious world today?Explain...
