45-48That was a turnaround for many of the Jews who were with Mary. They saw what Jesus did, and believed in him. But some went back to the Pharisees and told on Jesus. The high priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Jewish ruling body. "What do we do now?" they asked. "This man keeps on doing things, creating God-signs. If we let him go on, pretty soon everyone will be believing in him and the Romans will come and remove what little power and privilege we still have." (The Message)
Some thought to ponder and share with others:
- What do you think the Jewish leaders were most worried about now following this latest miracle from Jesus?
- Why do you think John includes this story in his gospel when none of the other writers of the gospels do?
- What was your turning point in believing in Jesus?
- What difference does Jesus power to raise people from the dead make in your life?
