What do we do when the miraculous happens, yet the world around us turns hostile? In this stirring message from Pastor Bogdan, we delve into John 11, where the miraculous resurrection of Lazarus evokes both belief and murderous scheming. The Pharisees’ polarized reaction to this undeniable miracle reveals a profound truth: witnessing the extraordinary does not guarantee faith. The Pastor emphasizes that true belief requires a heart-level trust, a surrender to Jesus, rather than mere intellectual agreement. In a powerful reminder that God’s redemptive story unfolds even amidst human failures, Pastor Bogdan draws parallels between our own fears of losing control and the Sanhedrin's desperate attempts to maintain power.
