The document summarizes passages from John 11:17-27 about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. When Jesus arrives in Bethany, he finds that Lazarus has already been dead for four days. Martha goes to meet Jesus and expresses her faith that if he had been there, Lazarus would not have died. Jesus tells her that her brother will rise again, and Martha affirms her belief in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus then declares that he is "the resurrection and the life" and asks Martha if she believes this. Martha responds by professing her faith that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.
Our security is based on who Jesus is and what Jesus has done; not who we are or what we do. Throughout the gospel of John we see that to have faith in Jesus is to have eternal life. So if we begin there and end there there is really nothing to worry about as we are securely in Jesus's and the Father's hands.

Jesus demonstrates that He is the light of the world by healing a man born blind. This sign powerfully shows that a man born blind received his sight and therefore that Jesus is the Christ, the son of Man and is worthy of our our belief and worship.

There are not many things as wondrous to receive, or difficult to give, as the gift of forgiveness. However, in Christ we are made clean, no longer condemned, at peace with God, and called to forgive.

Message series i am - part 10 - i am resurrection & the life - pastor c...LifePointe Church
This message is the 10th and final part of the message series “I AM” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this Easter message titled, “I AM The Resurrection And The Life”, Pastor Chuck talks about how the resurrection of Jesus changes everything in our lives both now and for eternity. Using the story of Lazarus, he shows how the resurrection gives us hope, healing and help.
This message was delivered at LifePointe Church in Crowley, TX on Sunday, April 16, 2017.
A lecture on the style and message of the Gospel of John. In this lecture we compare John's style to those of the synoptic to get an Eagle's eye portrayal of Jesus life and message.
Why was Calvary not enough? What if Jesus did not rise from the dead? What would that mean? Why was the physical resurrection of Jesus so necessary to prove something?
The answer may surprise you.
Week 2 (Peace) of The Heart Has a Home in the Living Room at East Petersburg ...jeffmclain
In our most popular stories, people are always – either physically or metaphorically – wondering from home, coming back home or feeling at home. A homecoming is the deployed soldier's nightly dream, the team’s big day, and the prodigal’s greatest act of courage. And this theme of “home” runs deeply throughout the Scriptures, map out out the path of the human heart as we start at home, wander in exile, then finally commence our return home. Home. Exile. Return. This is the way of the human heart in the biblical narrative. Have you ever noticed that, when compared to the other Gospels, the Gospel of John gets so little attention during the Christmas Season? John, known as the ‘Beloved Apostle,’ does not begin his telling of the life of Jesus with a birth narrative, a documentation of His lineage or anything that resembles a “hark the herald angels sing” moment.
There are few Christmas plays that attempt to bring the cosmic metaphors of John 1 to the stage; Matthew, Mark, and Luke get top billing as children dress up in the shepherds’ robes, angels’ gowns, and cow costumes, all to reenact the vivid scenes of the nativity. Instead, John brings his Christmas story with what amounts to a retelling of Genesis!
That is where we pick up in Week 2, This first Sunday of Advent. The Heart Comes Home – To Peace.
john 3:16, It is God's golden message to the world, comprehending
the sum-total of sixteen hundred years of love revelation. It
tells of a love that loves, a love that serves, a love that
sacrifices. In it we see the father-heart of God, the mother-
heart of Christ, yes, the friend-heart of the world's truest
Friend. Here we are swept out into the universal, beholding
a world-lover, a world-man, a world-thinker, a world-
sympathizer, a non-respecter of persons, one whose mind
and heart reach across races, recognizing no distinctions, no
political lines, no social distinctions.

To truly calculate the cost, you must consider both the cost of action and the cost of inaction not only for the near term but in the long term. Jesus calls us to a decision. Choose wisely.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

It's All About Who You Know part 1 (I Am the Resurrection and the Life)
1. John 11:17-19
On His arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had
already been in the tomb for four days. Bethany
was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and
many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to
comfort them in the loss of their brother.
www.networkbible.org
2. John 11:20-22
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she
went out to meet Him, but Mary stayed at home.
‘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.’
www.networkbible.org
3. John 11:23-24
Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’
Martha answered, ‘I know he will rise again in
the resurrection at the last day.’
www.networkbible.org
4. John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the
life. He who believes in Me will live, even
though he dies; and whoever lives and believes
in Me will never die. Do you believe this?’
www.networkbible.org
5. John 11:27
‘Yes, Lord,’ she told him, ‘I believe that you are
the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into
the world.’
www.networkbible.org
6. Jesus’s followers DIED for proclaiming that He had
RISEN.
Jesus was making the claim
of being EQUAL with God.
7. I want to know the One who DEFEATED death.
Lazarus’s family has PROMINENCE, but when
death knocks it becomes meaningless.
Why do we look for LIFE in
that which cannot give it?
8. Disappointment and grief become the AVENUE for
Jesus to reveal Himself more fully.
The activities of God fulfilled in Jesus and
PROMISED to those who believe in Jesus.
Martha doesn’t ask Jesus to
raise Lazarus believing it to
be BEYOND even what
Jesus can do.
9. Jesus bought back the life we had FORFEITED
through sin.
Eternal life is not just a future promise, but a
PRESENT reality.
His death and resurrection was not only for my
forgiveness but that I might LIVE through Him.
I am the RESURRECTION.
I am the LIFE
10. You might say death is an invincible enemy to
fear or a BRIDGE to cross depending on who
you know.
