I AM the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE

This sermon explores Jesus' profound declaration "I am the resurrection and the life" through the account of raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11. The pastor emphasizes that Jesus is not merely someone who will bring resurrection someday, but that He IS resurrection and life in the present moment. The message addresses the tension between God's love and His timing, showing how Jesus' deliberate delay in coming to Lazarus was not abandonment but purposeful preparation for displaying God's glory. The sermon challenges believers to trust Jesus even in seasons of grief, unanswered prayer, and apparent delay, while inviting non-believers to consider Jesus' claims about His identity and authority over both physical and spiritual death.
