He is the Resurrection and the Life – Part 1 – John 11:1-27 – Message #16

Description

John 11 records one of the most interesting and dramatic events in the life of Christ.  It is the last in a series of sign miracles designed to point to His deity and bring people to belief in Him. This climactic miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead was Jesus’ public evidence of the truth of His great claim recorded in John 11:25 that “I am the resurrection and the life.”  Here we see Jesus as God who is mighty in power and as a man who demonstrates sympathy and sorrow.  The death of Lazarus and his resurrection was for God’s glory so that through it people would glorify Jesus as God.
