The apostle John selects seven of Jesus' miracles serve as milestones of His public ministry (ch. 1-11).
1. John 2 – Jesus visited a wedding in Cana and averted a shameful public disaster for the groom & bride by turning water into wine.
2. John 4 – Jesus met a royal official who came to Cana to beg Jesus to heal his son. The boy was dying back in Capernaum but Jesus healed him with a word from Cana.
3. John 5 - Jesus healed a sick old man at the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. "Pick up you pallet and walk!" But it was Sabbath…
4. John 6 – Jesus taught thousands then fed with a little boy's Happy Meal.
5. John 6 – That same night, Jesus walked on water!
6. John 9 – Jesus spat on the ground then smeared mud over the eyes of a beggar born blind. The man sees and soon follows Jesus (noted today's story!). But it was Sabbath.
Today we witness Jesus' seventh sign – the climax of His public ministry. A sign that points to His glory, His passion, and His salvation. Let's return to the funeral of Lazarus. Jesus is there, with Lazarus' sisters, Mary and Martha. Join me in John 11:25-44 .
Jesus demonstrates His power over death to the glory of God.. 1. Jesus' love for His friends (vv.28-37). 2. Jesus' prayer to His Father (vv.38-42). 3. Jesus' power over death (vv.43-44).
