The Powerful Ministry of Jesus
Text: John 11: 37
THE POWERFUL MINISTRY OF JESUS
Jesus had taught extensively on many subjects, covering vital doctrines:
1. About God as Father
a. His love.
b. His offer of eternal life.
c. His Kingdom.
d. His blessings.
2. About faith
a. Faith in Him as the Son of God.
b. Faith in Him as the Christ, the Anointed One of God.
3. Many demonstrations of His great power
a. He cast out demons (Mark 1:21-28).
b. He healed so many (Matthew 4:23-25).
c. He even raised the dead.
i) The daughter of Jairus (Matthew 9:18-26).
ii) The son of a widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17).
LIMITED COMPREHENSION AND LITTLE FAITH
Despite the fact that Jesus taught so well and ministered so mightily, many had limited comprehension of who He really was. Most had but a little faith in Him.
“And some of them said, ‘Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?’”
John 11:37
1. “And some of them said”
a. This group of people were mourning with Martha and Mary.
b. They too had heard or even seen how Jesus performed mighty miracles.
c. They voiced out their opinion collectively.
2. “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying”
a. They viewed Jesus as simply a Man and no more.
b. He might have been a great Teacher and Healer, but still only a Man.
3. This remark represented
a. Little comprehension of the full identity of Jesus.
b. It also represented very little faith in Him!

有限的理解和微小的信心

“其中有人说：‘他既然开了瞎子的眼睛，岂不能叫这人不死吗？’”
《约翰福音 11：37》
