This is a challenging passage. John 11:1-45 tells the amazing story of Lazarus being raised from the dead, an incredibly hopeful account of Jesus' power to raise the dead. But there is a difficult side to it as well. Jesus did not respond immediately when he heard that Lazarus was ill, and so before Jesus came, Lazarus had died. "If you had been here," Lazarus' sisters say, "my brother would not have died." But what if the role of Jesus isn't to keep his people protected from feeling hurt or pain? What if, in fact, he can lead us through the worst we could ever face and give us the gift of new life on the other side? This sermon from Pastor Eric invites you to let Jesus lead you, even into places we might not want to go.
