There is this assumption that the Christian position is foolish. I contend to the contrary, the biblical position and belief system is very reasonable. The very world we live in is evidence of an intelligent creator. The next mystery is what does the creator of all we know require of us if anything ?

The example we should follow is Christ.

The Lord Washes the feet of the disciples and professes there is a deceiver among them.

The Lord Jesus Christ answers the people plainly yet they can't see beyond what they want to see.

The resurrection of Lazarus draws more people to Christ, meanwhile his increasing reach invokes more anger from the chief priest and the pharisees. 

People come to see Lazarus with their own eyes,  and the chief priest want him put to death as to erase any trace of the works of Christ.

The Lord Moves around differently after the religious leaders of the time seek to have him put to death. At this point also Judas begins to expose his true motives more, after Mary anoints the Lord with Spikenard.

The Lord Jesus Christ raises Lazarus from the dead while many believe on him after this account, some go to inform the pharisees to tell them of  his action. After hearing what transpired they seek to have him put to death out of fear of what the Romans will do to the people of Israel because of the  fame of Christ.

The Lord Jesus Christ gets  his skeptics to think on psalm 82 and Challenges their issues with him referring to himself as the Son Of God. I will fully admit I do not have all the answers here and I am definitely willing to admit that my conclusion on this portion of scripture will no doubt evolve as I gain more knowledge.
