In her TGCW24 message, Nancy Guthrie helps us understand what Jesus means when he says, “I am the resurrection and the life.”
In John 11:17–44, Jesus offers eternal hope as he boldly confronts death. He gives us the hope of life in the future and access to resurrection life right now. We can rejoice knowing that if we trust in Jesus, we’re no longer spiritually dead but are now united with him in the newness of life.
Guthrie teaches on the following:
Jesus’s love and Lazarus’s illness
Jesus’s delay and the purpose of sickness
Martha’s struggle with Jesus’s delay
Jesus’s claim: “I am the resurrection and the life”
Jesus’s question: “Do you believe this?”
The sign of raising Lazarus
Confidence in Jesus’s resurrection power
Jesus’s role as weeping friend and divine warrior
The final victory over death
