The Resurrection and The Life

When Jesus’ friend Lazarus dies in Gospel of John 11, it raises an obvious question: Why didn’t Jesus just heal him? Instead, Jesus allows Lazarus to die—and then makes one of the most powerful claims in the Bible: “I am the resurrection and the life.” By raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus reveals something far greater than a miracle. He points to a deeper truth: death is not the end of our story. In this message, we'll explore how this incredible moment reveals Jesus’ true identity and points us forward to His ultimate victory.
