REFLECTION: Psalm 90:12-17 MEMORY: Matthew 6:31-32 BENEDICTION: Romans 15:5-6 Summary: Jesus’s response to the entire saga of Lazarus was completely out of step with everyone around him. He knew what they didn’t know. He saw what they couldn’t see. Christians who know the Bible, should have a “resurrected” and eternal view of life - it will put our responses out of sync with the world around us, too. 1. A REAL ! John 11:1-16 DEATH WILL NOT BE THE ULTIMATE TRAGEDY HERE! Jesus lingered for two reasons: He them! for the of God! 2. A REAL ! John 11:17-37 Jesus does NOT say, “I can resurrect people and I have life.” Jesus entered their grief...and moved to end it. 3. A REAL OVER DEATH! John 11:38-44 CLOSING ENCOURAGEMENT Delays could be delays of . In light of our resurrected view: we shouldn’t lose hope…HOPE is alive in us by God’s Spirit we shouldn’t be shaken to our core by the winds of this world we shouldn’t sound like everybody else…who is without hope we shouldn’t behave like everyone else - we know more than those who are outside of Christ we’re not waiting on the SKY TO FALL with the next news report…we’re looking for the Sky to split and Christ to return and set all things right! See 2 Corinthians 4:7-18; 5:6-7. THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
