On Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, Pastor Stuart Nice shared a message in person and online via YouTube Live. In our discussion this week, Pastor Stuart leads us in conversation from John 11:21-27 about Jesus: The Resurrection and the Life. This is the last of seven I Am statements by Jesus. In this statement, Jesus demonstrates by bringing Lazarus back from the dead, that he can bring life out of death, which is a product of trust. We are encouraged by this story that Jesus still does miracles.
“Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.”
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
“Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
John 11:21-27 (NIV)
