Life of Christ Lesson 109: The Resurrection and the Life - Part I {Raising Lazarus!}

John 11:1-16 This is the first in a two-part study on a spectacular miracle - the raising of a four-day dead man named Lazarus (brother of Martha and Mary of Bethany). This miracle took place within weeks of the cross. It was a climactic testimony of Christ's Deity given - the mightiest work He performed apart from His Resurrection (infinitely greater, for He arose in a new glorified body; Lazarus rose in his old human body). If Jesus could not defeat death, we would remain forever hopeless. But He did defeat it, both totally and permanently! Because of that, we who believe are NOT the most miserable of men (see I Corin. 15:19); we are the most blessed and should be the most thankful, the most joyful, and the most HOPEFUL of all people! It is most appropriate the greatest miracle Christ performed was against man's greatest enemy, death! In this lesson, we discuss the "Saviour's Delay" and "Skeptical Didymus". GREAT TWO-PART STUDY YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS.
