What do we do with pain, fear, and the uncertainty of death? In John 11, we encounter the powerful story of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha—friends of Jesus who faced deep grief and difficult questions about God’s timing. When Jesus arrives at the tomb, He reveals something extraordinary: He is not only concerned with their pain, He is the resurrection and the life.
This message invites us to step into the story and see where we fit. Like Lazarus, many of us have been called from death to life but still carry grave clothes from our past. Like Mary and Martha, we wrestle with doubt, disappointment, and trust in God’s plan.
Through this encounter with Jesus, we will explore how He calls us to revive, remove, respond, release, reveal, remember, and rearrange our lives. When we trust Him with our pain and step out of the graves that once held us, we discover that resurrection life isn’t just a future promise—it’s a present reality.
