John 12:10

John 12:10

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

The miracle that gave life became a threat to those who hated Jesus. Instead of believing, the priests planned more evil. Hardened hearts refuse even the greatest evidence.

Memory phrase: Some hearts stay hard.

Talk about it: Why would someone want to kill a man who had been brought back to life?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, soften every hard heart to know You.
