John 11:25–44 | The God Who Raises the Dead

John 11:25–44

In this powerful passage, Pastor Matt reminds us that Jesus does not merely speak of resurrection—He is the Resurrection and the Life.

The raising of Lazarus is no isolated wonder, but a signpost pointing to the greater glory of the cross. Here, we see the sovereign God who ordains all things not as distant or detached, but as deeply moved—Jesus wept.
The Lord of life enters into our grief, not to explain it away, but to bear it Himself. God’s sovereignty and love are not rivals—they are married at the tomb of Lazarus and consummated at the cross.
Just as Lazarus was called forth from the grave, so too are we—dead in sin but made alive in Christ. This is the miracle of grace: resurrection life now and forever.

Are you still trying to raise yourself? There is only One who holds authority over death. Come to Jesus—and live.
