The God Who Weeps and Calls The Dead To Life (Chris Vessey)
About this episode
Chris Vessey explores the story of Lazarus to reveal Jesus' compassion and power in times of suffering.
In this message, Chris explores one of Scripture's most powerful stories of faith tested and restored—the raising of Lazarus (John 11)—and reveals what Jesus is truly like in the midst of our suffering and grief. Through Martha and Mary's struggle with Jesus' delay, Chris shows us that God's timing is not always God's denial, and that Jesus meets us with both resurrection power and tender compassion, weeping with us even as he calls dead things to life. As you listen, ask yourself: Do I need to see God's power, experience his intimate presence in my pain, or am I being called to help others remove the grave clothes that have been binding them?
