The Miraculous Resurrection of Lazarus

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Come & See sermon series with a teaching from John 11 on Jesus’ sixth miraculous sign — raising Lazarus from the dead. Similar to Lazarus’ story, we are deeply loved by Jesus, but spiritually dead and unable to save ourselves. Yet, Jesus was willing to die for us and save us from our sins and transgressions. By hearing and receiving the good news of salvation, we, as children of God, are brought back to life in Christ. Just like Lazarus, our new lives in Christ become our defining characteristic and should ultimately point to glorifying God. When troubles arise in the world we live in, we can rest in Jesus’ loving presence, knowing that we are deeply loved by the God of all creation who has conquered the grave.
