About this episode

This episode explores the death and resurrection of Lazarus in John 11, discussing themes of suffering, faith, and the glory of God.

In John 11, we walk through one of the most powerful moments in all of Scripture — the death and resurrection of Lazarus. Why did Jesus wait? What does His response teach us about suffering, faith, grief, and the glory of God? And what did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the resurrection and the life”? In this Bible study, we break down the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus verse by verse and look at the deep spiritual truths found in this chapter. We also discuss one of the shortest yet most meaningful verses in the Bible: “Jesus wept.” Whether you’re walking through a difficult season, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or simply wanting to grow deeper in your understanding of Scripture, John 11 is filled with hope and encouragement. 📖 Today’s Study: John 11 🙏 Topics Covered: * Why Jesus delayed coming to Lazarus * Faith during suffering and waiting * The meaning of “I am the resurrection and the life” * Jesus weeping with those who mourn * The raising of Lazarus * How this miracle pointed to the cross If this study encourages you, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who may need hope today. #BibleStudy #John11 #Jesus #Lazarus #ChristianPodcast…
