About This Message
Using the death of Lazarus in John 11, Pastor Addison traces a family's journey through delayed prayer: Jesus waits two days after hearing Lazarus is sick, Lazarus dies and lies in the grave four days, and Martha and Mary confront Jesus with grief mixed with faith. He teaches that the delay was not neglect but was for God's glory, and that Jesus himself is the resurrection and the life.
Key Takeaways
- Jesus loved Lazarus's family even while delaying his response to their request
- Lazarus was dead four days, making the situation appear humanly impossible
- Jesus declared to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life"
