In this Easter message, we're reminded that Jesus is not just the giver of resurrection, but He is the resurrection itself. The story of Lazarus in John 11 beautifully illustrates how God's delays are not denials, but opportunities for greater glory. We're challenged to believe in Jesus' power over death, not just as a historical event, but as a present reality in our lives. The sermon emphasizes that real love sacrifices, exemplified by Jesus' ultimate sacrifice on the cross. We're encouraged to see that our relationship with God is based not on how much we love Him, but on His immeasurable love for us. This message invites us to examine our faith and asks the crucial question: Do we truly believe in Jesus as the resurrection and the life?
