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
