Week 155: From Rebels to Children

This week, we see the immediate aftermath of Lazarus’ resurrection.

Here we see a sharp divide: some believe, others harden their hearts, and the religious leaders begin to plot the death of Jesus. What looks like human scheming and fear-driven evil is, in reality, the unfolding of God’s sovereign redemptive plan.

 Caiaphas unknowingly prophesies the heart of the gospel—that one Man would die so that many might live, gathering the scattered children of God into one.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why is humanity never neutral when confronted with God’s glory
• The doctrine of spiritual inability and God’s sovereign grace
• How fear of man misreads history and misses Christ
• The substitutionary death of Jesus and peace with God
• What it means to live as those who were once rebels but are now children of God

• John 11:45-53
