00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.880
Well amen and good morning. It's good to see each of you today. Please take your copy of God's Word this morning and turn with me once again to John chapter 11,

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:10.880
where we'll conclude our consideration of the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Because we have spent the last two weeks working our way carefully through this chapter, and because some of you may have not been with us for every part of the study,

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.340
I want to begin by reminding us of the road that John has taken us in bringing us to this moment.

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:48.219
 Because what happens at the tomb in verses 38 through 44 cannot really be understood apart from everything Jesus has already said and done throughout the chapter.

00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:56.799
 John 11 began with a problem that from the perspective of Mary and Martha seemed simple enough.

00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.979
 Their brother Lazarus was sick.

00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:15.579
 Jesus loved Lazarus and therefore the sisters sent word to Jesus with what was almost certainly the expectation that the one who had healed so many strangers would surely come quickly to help someone whom he personally loved.

00:01:15.579 --> 00:01:22.939
 Yet from the very beginning, Jesus interpreted Lazarus' illness differently than everyone else did.

00:01:23.140 --> 00:01:33.180
 Because whereas Mary and Martha saw an emergency that needed immediate intervention, Jesus saw an occasion through which the glory of God would be displayed.

00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.539
 He says in verse 4,

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:48.320
 And that statement governs the entire chapter.

00:01:49.500 --> 00:02:00.860
 Before Lazarus dies, before Jesus ever arrives in Bethany, before Martha comes running to meet him, before Mary falls weeping at his feet, and before Jesus stands outside the tomb,

00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:05.859
 He has already told us what all of this is ultimately about.

00:02:06.579 --> 00:02:10.780
 It is about the glory of God being revealed through the Son of God.

00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:20.060
 And then as we saw when we began this chapter, John tells us something that initially seems almost impossible to reconcile with the love of Christ.

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:30.680
 John explicitly says that Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, and then, rather than saying that because he loved them, he immediately left for Bethany,

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:38.180
 John says that because he loved them, he remained where he was for two additional days.

00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:46.659
 In other words, the delay of Christ was not a contradiction of his love, it was an expression of his love.

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:54.700
 Because Jesus intended to give this family something far greater than the immediate relief that they were asking him to provide.

00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.460
 They wanted Jesus to prevent Lazarus from dying.

00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:06.320
 Jesus intended to reveal himself as the one who possesses authority over death itself.

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:16.740
 That distinction matters because it reminds us the love of God cannot always be measured by how quickly he delivers us from difficulty,

00:03:16.740 --> 00:03:24.800
 nor can the goodness of God be assessed simply by comparing his providence with the outcome we would have preferred.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.820
 There are times when the love of Christ leads him to give us precisely what we ask for.

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:38.100
 And there are other times when that same love, operating according to wisdom infinitely greater than our own,

00:03:38.780 --> 00:03:47.600
 leads him to delay, to withhold, or even to take us through circumstances we would never have chosen for ourselves.

00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.620
 The sisters prayed in effect, Lord, come and heal Lazarus.

00:03:54.620 --> 00:03:59.959
 Jesus loved them too much merely to answer that prayer in the way they expected.

00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.219
 As the chapter continues, Jesus eventually tells his disciples plainly that Lazarus has died,

00:04:06.219 --> 00:04:13.680
 and then he adds something which, apart from everything else we know about him, might almost sound cruel.

00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:22.139
 For your sake, I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe.

00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:29.159
 Jesus is not glad that Lazarus suffered, nor is he delighted in the grief of these sisters.

00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:37.500
 Rather, he is glad because he knows that what he is about to reveal concerning himself will strengthen the faith of his disciples

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:43.479
 in a way that merely preventing the sickness from ending in death never could.

00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.200
 And so the themes emerge clearly.

00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:52.580
 Glory, faith, resurrection life.

00:04:53.740 --> 00:04:59.040
 By the time Jesus arrives in Bethany, Lazarus has already been in the tomb for days.

00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.360
 And Martha, upon hearing that Jesus is approaching the village,

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.200
 goes out to meet him and says what has surely passed through the hearts of countless believers in moments of suffering.

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:14.300
 Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:21.759
 There is faith in that statement, but also confusion.

00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.980
 Martha believes Jesus possesses extraordinary power,

00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:33.579
 but she cannot yet understand why he did not exercise that power when she wanted him to exercise it.

00:05:33.579 --> 00:05:41.759
 And it is into that confusion that Jesus speaks perhaps the most important words in the entire chapter.

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.500
 I am the resurrection and the life.

00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:52.139
 Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.

00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:57.560
 Jesus does not merely tell Martha that he is capable of performing a resurrection.

00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:05.000
 He tells her that resurrection is inseparably bound up with his own identity.

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.939
 I am the resurrection and the life.

00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:11.879
 He is not merely one who possesses life.

00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:13.939
 He is the life.

00:06:14.620 --> 00:06:19.100
 He is not simply someone through whom resurrection may occur.

00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.060
 He is the resurrection.

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:28.540
 Then he turns this great theological declaration toward Martha personally and asks,

00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.399
 Do you believe this?

00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:36.160
 Martha responds with that remarkable confession.

00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:42.500
 Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:49.620
 Then Mary comes and when she arrives, she falls at Jesus' feet and repeats the same words Martha had spoken.

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:54.620
 Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:57.920
 Jesus sees Mary weeping.

00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:00.899
 He sees the mourners around her weeping.

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:07.860
 He sees everything that sin and death have done to this family, their hopeless grief.

00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.280
 And John tells us that he is deeply moved and greatly troubled.

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:19.160
 Then comes that simple sentence, Jesus wept.

00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:25.500
 We saw last week that this is not merely the emotional response of a sympathetic friend,

00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:28.439
 although it is certainly that.

00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:33.220
 Rather, there is something deeper happening in Jesus.

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:40.180
 Because the language John uses conveys not only sorrow, but indignation.

00:07:40.180 --> 00:07:46.060
 Jesus stands in the presence of death and is moved with holy anger.

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:51.740
 Jesus grieves because death and unbelief is an enemy.

00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.860
 But he does not grieve as one who is powerless before that enemy.

00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.780
 He is about to confront it.

00:07:59.779 --> 00:08:06.819
 Christian hope does not eliminate grief.

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:11.000
 It gives grief something to hold on to.

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:20.120
 So with that, we come to John chapter 11, verses 38 through 44.

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.740
 Let me pray for us before I read it.

00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:28.819
 Father God, we thank you this morning for your word.

00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:34.659
 We thank you that you have not left us to invent our own ideas about your son,

00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.980
 but have given us this inspired testimony

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:41.340
 so that seeing who he is and understanding what he has done,

00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.940
 we might believe that Jesus is the Christ.

00:08:44.940 --> 00:08:49.560
 And that by believing, we might have life in his name.

00:08:51.260 --> 00:08:54.540
 Guard us, we pray, from the kind of familiarity

00:08:54.540 --> 00:08:58.520
 that allows us to read of a dead man walking out of a tomb

00:08:58.520 --> 00:09:02.920
 without being astonished by the glory of Christ.

00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:07.780
 Give us eyes to see him, ears to hear his word,

00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.960
 faith to trust him, and hearts that delight in his glory.

00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.200
 And Father, if there are those among us who remain spiritually dead in their sins,

00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:21.860
 would you, through the gospel this morning,

00:09:22.820 --> 00:09:25.720
 cause them to hear the voice of your son and live?

00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.540
 We ask this in Jesus' name and for the glory of that name.

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:32.540
 Amen.

00:09:33.940 --> 00:09:36.580
 John 11, I'll begin reading in verse 38.

00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:41.040
 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb.

00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:44.500
 It was a cave and a stone lay against it.

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.759
 Jesus said, take away the stone.

00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.180
 Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him,

00:09:51.680 --> 00:09:56.139
 Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead for days.

00:09:57.300 --> 00:09:58.259
 Jesus said to her,

00:09:58.900 --> 00:10:02.960
 did I not tell you that if you believe you would see the glory of God?

00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.480
 So they took away the stone.

00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.540
 And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said,

00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:11.560
 Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.080
 I knew that you always hear me,

00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:17.000
 but I said this on account of the people standing around,

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:19.879
 that they may believe that you sent me.

00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.100
 When he had said these things,

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.160
 he cried out with a loud voice,

00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:26.280
 Lazarus, come out.

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.740
 The man who had died came out,

00:10:28.819 --> 00:10:30.860
 his hands and feet bound with linen strips,

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.639
 and his face wrapped with a cloth.

00:10:33.819 --> 00:10:34.759
 Jesus said to them,

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:38.120
 unbind him and let him go.

00:10:39.299 --> 00:10:40.179
 If you'll allow,

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.279
 I'd like to draw your attention to our text

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.120
 in four alliterated points.

00:10:46.939 --> 00:10:49.139
 You know, I've heard the argument made at times

00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:52.339
 that alliteration is meant to help us remember the points of a sermon,

00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:56.920
 but I'm fully aware that too much is said in these sermons

00:10:56.920 --> 00:10:58.759
 for you to really remember the points.

00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.980
 I'm hoping that you might take notes

00:11:00.980 --> 00:11:03.879
 or go back and listen to the recording later.

00:11:04.280 --> 00:11:08.000
 So I want you to know that I alliterate just for fun.

00:11:09.160 --> 00:11:12.680
 I spend a lot of time staring at words on a page,

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.160
 and so I just enjoy doing it.

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.540
 So there we are.

00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.600
 The Baptist joke often seems appropriate.

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.580
 I don't do it for that reason.

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.820
 I do it because it's fun.

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:23.140
 So, number one,

00:11:24.620 --> 00:11:27.180
 Jesus confronts death.

00:11:27.940 --> 00:11:29.760
 We see these in these first two verses,

00:11:29.980 --> 00:11:32.620
 and I've mentioned it already.

00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:38.360
 John's description is almost startling in its simplicity.

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:42.500
 There's no attempt to dramatize the scene artificially

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:47.440
 because the facts themselves possess more than enough weight.

00:11:48.180 --> 00:11:48.920
 There's a cave.

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:51.460
 There's a stone covering its entrance.

00:11:51.460 --> 00:11:53.620
 There's a dead man inside,

00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.200
 and standing outside is Jesus Christ,

00:11:56.400 --> 00:11:58.879
 the one who has just declared himself

00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.920
 to be the resurrection and the life.

00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.259
 John tells us that Jesus is deeply moved again

00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:11.139
 using the same strong language we encountered earlier in the chapter,

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:14.240
 which means that as Jesus approaches the tomb,

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.340
 he is not merely experiencing the sadness of a friend who has lost someone he loves.

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:25.980
 He is confronting with holy indignation the dreadful reality of death and unbelief itself.

00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:33.500
 The Bible never treats death and unbelief as though it belonged to the original goodness of God's creation.

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:35.779
 When God created the world,

00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:39.100
 he looked upon all that he had made and declared it very good.

00:12:39.980 --> 00:12:40.740
 But death,

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:42.100
 doubt,

00:12:42.980 --> 00:12:44.139
 entered through

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:45.519
 sin.

00:12:46.419 --> 00:12:47.440
 So what now seems

00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.840
 universal and unavoidable

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.700
 is nevertheless an intruder

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.700
 into the world

00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:54.080
 that God made.

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.060
 Paul writing in 1 Corinthians chapter 15

00:12:58.060 --> 00:13:01.600
 does not call death our friend.

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:04.259
 He calls it the last enemy.

00:13:05.580 --> 00:13:07.020
 That distinction is important

00:13:07.020 --> 00:13:07.820
 because Christians

00:13:07.820 --> 00:13:10.560
 sometimes speak about death so casually

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:12.400
 that we unintentionally say more

00:13:12.400 --> 00:13:14.220
 than Scripture itself says.

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:16.379
 It is true that

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:17.100
 for the believer,

00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.200
 death has lost its condemning power.

00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:20.639
 It is true that

00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:21.899
 to be absent from the body

00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:23.080
 is to be present with the Lord.

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.500
 It is true that

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:26.100
 death cannot separate us

00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:27.320
 from the love of God

00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.000
 in Christ Jesus.

00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:31.420
 But none of that means

00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:32.600
 death itself

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:33.940
 has somehow

00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:35.300
 become good.

00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:38.100
 We were created for

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:39.300
 life with God

00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:39.860
 and therefore

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:41.560
 when the eternal Son of God

00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:43.879
 through whom all things were created

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:45.480
 comes face to face

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.580
 with the devastation

00:13:46.580 --> 00:13:47.360
 death has brought

00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.480
 into His creation.

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.220
 He is deeply moved.

00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:55.399
 And He says in verse 39,

00:13:56.419 --> 00:13:58.980
 take away the stone.

00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:01.399
 Notice the authority

00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.759
 with which Jesus speaks.

00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:05.600
 He doesn't ask

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.820
 whether everyone is comfortable

00:14:06.820 --> 00:14:08.080
 with the opening of the grave

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.000
 nor does He offer

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.100
 a lengthy explanation

00:14:10.100 --> 00:14:11.299
 of what He intends to do.

00:14:11.899 --> 00:14:13.059
 He simply commands

00:14:13.059 --> 00:14:15.059
 that the stone be removed.

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:17.139
 And Martha immediately

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:18.099
 raises what

00:14:18.099 --> 00:14:19.059
 from every ordinary

00:14:19.059 --> 00:14:20.019
 human perspective

00:14:20.019 --> 00:14:21.539
 is a perfectly reasonable

00:14:21.539 --> 00:14:22.599
 objection.

00:14:23.659 --> 00:14:23.919
 Lord,

00:14:24.099 --> 00:14:25.059
 by this time

00:14:25.059 --> 00:14:25.859
 there will be an odor

00:14:25.859 --> 00:14:27.159
 for He has been

00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:28.459
 dead for

00:14:28.459 --> 00:14:29.799
 days.

00:14:31.079 --> 00:14:32.019
 Fun fact,

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:32.859
 the King James

00:14:32.859 --> 00:14:33.779
 renders this statement

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:34.399
 by Martha.

00:14:34.979 --> 00:14:35.259
 Lord,

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:36.339
 by this time

00:14:36.339 --> 00:14:37.559
 He stinketh.

00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:37.619
 death.

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:40.819
 It's remarkably

00:14:40.819 --> 00:14:42.359
 direct.

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:43.879
 But it communicates

00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:44.679
 exactly what Martha

00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:45.479
 understands about

00:14:45.479 --> 00:14:46.099
 the situation.

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:48.199
 Jesus has told them

00:14:48.199 --> 00:14:49.059
 to open a grave

00:14:49.059 --> 00:14:49.979
 containing a body

00:14:49.979 --> 00:14:50.939
 that has been dead

00:14:50.939 --> 00:14:53.059
 for days.

00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:55.259
 Martha is not denying

00:14:55.259 --> 00:14:56.099
 Jesus' power

00:14:56.099 --> 00:14:57.659
 in some abstract sense.

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.899
 She has already confessed

00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:00.000
 that He is the Christ,

00:15:00.059 --> 00:15:00.799
 the Son of God.

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.259
 What she is struggling with

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:03.759
 is the collision

00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:04.899
 between what she believes

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:05.459
 about Jesus

00:15:05.460 --> 00:15:06.519
 and what she knows

00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:07.460
 about the body

00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:09.480
 lying behind that stone.

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:12.000
 Lazarus is dead.

00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:13.720
 Not recently.

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.220
 Not apparently.

00:15:15.820 --> 00:15:17.180
 Not unconscious.

00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:18.720
 Not hovering

00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:20.560
 somewhere near death.

00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:21.720
 Lazarus

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.180
 is dead

00:15:23.180 --> 00:15:24.340
 and her faith

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.840
 is faltering.

00:15:27.300 --> 00:15:27.800
 John is taking

00:15:27.800 --> 00:15:28.540
 great care

00:15:28.540 --> 00:15:29.040
 to remove

00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:30.560
 every possible

00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:31.740
 natural explanation

00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:32.460
 for what is about

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:33.780
 to happen.

00:15:34.300 --> 00:15:35.180
 Because Lazarus

00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:35.919
 has been in the tomb

00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:36.799
 long enough

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.299
 that decomposition

00:15:38.299 --> 00:15:39.419
 has begun.

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.159
 And Martha knows it

00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:42.179
 well.

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.039
 Lord,

00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:44.799
 he stinketh.

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:46.339
 Now,

00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:49.019
 a tomb allows us

00:15:49.019 --> 00:15:50.019
 to place

00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:51.239
 a boundary

00:15:51.239 --> 00:15:53.179
 around death.

00:15:53.859 --> 00:15:55.099
 We know what is inside

00:15:55.099 --> 00:15:55.659
 but the stone

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:56.639
 prevents the side of it,

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:57.399
 sterilizes

00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:58.919
 its reality.

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:00.559
 There's something

00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:02.599
 merciful about burial

00:16:02.599 --> 00:16:04.139
 for that very reason

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:05.559
 because we commit

00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:06.100
 the bodies

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:06.600
 of those

00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:07.879
 who we love

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:09.000
 to the ground

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.080
 rather than watching

00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.600
 the process of decay

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:12.179
 unfold

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:13.639
 before us.

00:16:14.699 --> 00:16:15.860
 But Jesus orders

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:17.679
 the boundary removed.

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.179
 He is about to

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:20.139
 confront death

00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:21.360
 in all its

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.360
 ugliness.

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.139
 And this is where

00:16:24.139 --> 00:16:24.980
 we need to remember

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.720
 that Christianity

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.159
 is not fundamentally

00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:28.419
 a program

00:16:28.419 --> 00:16:29.439
 designed to help

00:16:29.439 --> 00:16:30.700
 basically healthy people

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:31.519
 become somewhat

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:32.439
 better versions

00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:33.880
 of themselves.

00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:36.640
 If our problem

00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:37.160
 were merely

00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:38.120
 ignorance,

00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:39.600
 Jesus would have

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:40.160
 come

00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:41.880
 as a teacher.

00:16:42.900 --> 00:16:43.480
 If our problem

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:44.400
 were merely

00:16:44.400 --> 00:16:45.260
 bad habits,

00:16:45.400 --> 00:16:45.900
 Jesus would have

00:16:45.900 --> 00:16:46.780
 come as a

00:16:46.780 --> 00:16:48.340
 moral instructor.

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.160
 If our problem

00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:50.820
 were merely

00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:52.160
 political disorder,

00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:53.600
 Jesus could have

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.940
 come as a statesman.

00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:56.920
 If our problem

00:16:56.920 --> 00:16:57.380
 were merely

00:16:57.380 --> 00:16:58.780
 emotional instability,

00:16:59.100 --> 00:16:59.760
 Jesus could have

00:16:59.760 --> 00:17:00.140
 come

00:17:00.139 --> 00:17:01.919
 as a counselor.

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:03.860
 And it comes

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:04.700
 as many of those

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.139
 things.

00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:07.019
 But our problem

00:17:07.019 --> 00:17:07.639
 fundamentally

00:17:07.639 --> 00:17:08.720
 goes far deeper

00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:09.599
 than any of

00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:10.680
 those things

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:11.480
 because we are

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.019
 sinners

00:17:12.019 --> 00:17:13.400
 standing under

00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:14.039
 the sentence

00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:15.740
 of death.

00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:17.420
 Alienated from

00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:17.879
 the God

00:17:17.879 --> 00:17:18.839
 who made us

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.779
 and incapable

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:21.220
 of resurrecting

00:17:21.220 --> 00:17:22.379
 and rescuing

00:17:22.379 --> 00:17:23.680
 ourselves.

00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:26.099
 Jesus did not

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:26.799
 come merely

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.619
 to improve

00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:28.259
 our lives.

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:28.700
 He came

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:29.559
 to give

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.680
 life

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.000
 to the dead.

00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:33.920
 And so,

00:17:34.180 --> 00:17:34.799
 although His

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.700
 Lordship certainly

00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:36.680
 transforms marriages

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.339
 and families,

00:17:38.019 --> 00:17:38.640
 affects the way

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:39.220
 we work,

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:39.920
 teaches us how

00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:40.379
 to forgive,

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:41.500
 changes how

00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:42.440
 we handle money,

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:43.200
 and reshapes

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:44.079
 every dimension

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.980
 of human life,

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.279
 we must never

00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:47.279
 reduce Christianity

00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.500
 to just

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:49.259
 those

00:17:49.259 --> 00:17:50.259
 things.

00:17:51.099 --> 00:17:52.180
 The gospel

00:17:52.180 --> 00:17:53.799
 is not fundamentally

00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:54.559
 about becoming

00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:55.759
 a nicer person.

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.400
 the gospel

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:57.779
 is about

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:58.539
 reconciliation

00:17:58.539 --> 00:17:59.400
 with God

00:17:59.400 --> 00:17:59.779
 through the

00:17:59.779 --> 00:18:00.400
 death and

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:00.900
 resurrection

00:18:00.900 --> 00:18:02.259
 of Jesus

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:02.799
 Christ.

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:04.400
 It is about

00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:05.839
 resurrection.

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:08.379
 I have no doubt

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:09.759
 that Paul has

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.619
 this miracle

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:11.359
 in mind

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:12.180
 as he writes

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:13.000
 in Ephesians

00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.099
 chapter 2.

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.559
 And you were

00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:16.700
 dead

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:17.940
 in the trespasses

00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:18.480
 and sins

00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:18.980
 in which you

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:19.759
 once walked,

00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:21.039
 following the

00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:21.559
 course of this

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:21.819
 world,

00:18:22.019 --> 00:18:22.599
 following the

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:23.259
 prince of the

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:24.379
 power of the

00:18:24.380 --> 00:18:24.620
 air,

00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:25.240
 the spirit

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.820
 that is now

00:18:25.820 --> 00:18:26.260
 in work

00:18:26.260 --> 00:18:26.600
 and the

00:18:26.600 --> 00:18:27.180
 sons of

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.960
 disobedience,

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.040
 among whom

00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:29.840
 we all once

00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:30.500
 lived in the

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:31.020
 passions of

00:18:31.020 --> 00:18:31.540
 our flesh,

00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:32.080
 carrying out

00:18:32.080 --> 00:18:32.660
 the desires

00:18:32.660 --> 00:18:33.240
 of the flesh

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.860
 and the mind,

00:18:34.100 --> 00:18:34.680
 and were by

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:35.740
 nature children

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.660
 of wrath

00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:37.640
 like the

00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:38.900
 rest of

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:39.500
 mankind.

00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:41.560
 But God,

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:43.320
 being rich

00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:43.900
 in mercy,

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:45.300
 because of the

00:18:45.300 --> 00:18:45.980
 great love

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:46.480
 with which he

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.180
 loved us,

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:48.120
 even when we

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:48.700
 were dead

00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:49.080
 in our

00:18:49.080 --> 00:18:49.880
 trespasses,

00:18:50.520 --> 00:18:51.480
 made us

00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.960
 alive together

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.900
 with Christ.

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:55.440
 By grace

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:56.360
 you have been

00:18:56.360 --> 00:18:56.860
 saved,

00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.420
 and raised us

00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:58.920
 up with him

00:18:58.920 --> 00:18:59.539
 and seated us

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:00.059
 with him in

00:19:00.059 --> 00:19:00.340
 the heavenly

00:19:00.340 --> 00:19:01.079
 places in

00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:01.779
 Christ Jesus,

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:02.799
 so that in

00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:03.279
 the coming

00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.140
 ages he

00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:04.660
 might show

00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:05.539
 the immeasurable

00:19:05.539 --> 00:19:06.340
 riches of his

00:19:06.340 --> 00:19:07.000
 grace and

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.019
 kindness toward

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:09.400
 us in

00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:10.720
 Christ Jesus.

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.220
 Jesus we

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:14.819
 see first

00:19:14.819 --> 00:19:16.240
 confront

00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:17.660
 death.

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:19.740
 Second,

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.680
 Jesus calls

00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:22.779
 us to see

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:24.759
 his glory.

00:19:25.560 --> 00:19:26.440
 Verse 40,

00:19:26.560 --> 00:19:27.620
 Jesus responds

00:19:27.620 --> 00:19:29.039
 to Martha,

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:29.759
 did I not

00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:30.519
 tell you that

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:31.000
 if you

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:31.900
 believed you

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:32.660
 would see

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:33.620
 the glory

00:19:33.620 --> 00:19:35.039
 of God?

00:19:36.340 --> 00:19:37.019
 Now the

00:19:37.019 --> 00:19:37.660
 great theme

00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:38.720
 has governed

00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:39.299
 this entire

00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:41.039
 chapter returns.

00:19:42.500 --> 00:19:43.100
 Jesus began

00:19:43.100 --> 00:19:43.900
 by saying that

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.380
 Lazarus'

00:19:44.539 --> 00:19:45.299
 sickness was

00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:46.160
 for the glory

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:46.779
 of God so

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:47.120
 that the

00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:47.720
 Son of God

00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:48.120
 might be

00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:49.060
 glorified through

00:19:49.060 --> 00:19:49.500
 it, and

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:50.960
 now standing

00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:51.579
 outside the

00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:52.579
 tomb with

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:52.960
 Martha

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:54.039
 understandably

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:54.700
 concerned about

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:55.000
 what will

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:55.440
 happen when

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:55.759
 the stone

00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:56.360
 is removed,

00:19:56.819 --> 00:19:57.480
 Jesus calls

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:58.420
 her back to

00:19:58.420 --> 00:19:58.900
 what he

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:00.019
 has already

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:01.440
 said.

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:02.860
 Did I

00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:04.360
 not tell

00:20:04.360 --> 00:20:04.640
 you?

00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:07.340
 That question

00:20:07.340 --> 00:20:07.700
 is more

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.319
 important than

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.740
 we might

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:10.539
 initially realize,

00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:11.819
 because Jesus

00:20:11.819 --> 00:20:12.740
 does not answer

00:20:12.740 --> 00:20:13.759
 Martha primarily

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.519
 by giving her

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:15.840
 new information,

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:17.140
 he answers her

00:20:17.140 --> 00:20:18.079
 by reminding

00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:18.819
 her of the

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:20.079
 word she

00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:20.619
 has already

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.779
 received.

00:20:22.659 --> 00:20:23.379
 And very

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:24.139
 often, that

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:24.740
 is precisely

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:25.799
 what struggling

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:27.759
 faith needs.

00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:29.419
 There are

00:20:29.419 --> 00:20:30.039
 seasons in the

00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:30.799
 Christian life

00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:31.720
 when what we

00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.599
 most desperately

00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:33.619
 require is not

00:20:33.619 --> 00:20:34.639
 some new

00:20:34.639 --> 00:20:35.599
 revelation from

00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:36.659
 God, but a

00:20:36.659 --> 00:20:37.779
 renewed grasp

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:38.460
 of what God

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.179
 has already

00:20:39.179 --> 00:20:40.359
 revealed.

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:42.419
 We are slow

00:20:42.419 --> 00:20:43.839
 learners and

00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:44.699
 quick to

00:20:44.699 --> 00:20:45.099
 forget,

00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:46.240
 particularly

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.699
 when suffering

00:20:47.699 --> 00:20:49.559
 narrows our

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:49.899
 vision.

00:20:51.099 --> 00:20:51.939
 We know

00:20:51.939 --> 00:20:52.319
 that God

00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:52.839
 is sovereign,

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:54.139
 but the

00:20:54.139 --> 00:20:54.659
 circumstances

00:20:54.659 --> 00:20:55.119
 begin to

00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:56.000
 unravel and

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:56.519
 we find

00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:56.959
 ourselves

00:20:56.959 --> 00:20:57.919
 behaving as

00:20:57.919 --> 00:20:58.480
 though he

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:59.059
 has lost

00:20:59.059 --> 00:20:59.740
 control.

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.419
 We know

00:21:01.419 --> 00:21:01.899
 that Christ

00:21:01.899 --> 00:21:02.379
 loves his

00:21:02.379 --> 00:21:03.579
 people, but

00:21:03.579 --> 00:21:03.799
 then he

00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:04.399
 delays in

00:21:04.399 --> 00:21:04.959
 answering a

00:21:04.959 --> 00:21:05.359
 prayer and

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:05.899
 we begin to

00:21:05.899 --> 00:21:06.319
 interpret

00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.279
 silence as

00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:08.899
 indifference.

00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.059
 We know

00:21:11.059 --> 00:21:11.339
 that the

00:21:11.339 --> 00:21:11.899
 promises of

00:21:11.899 --> 00:21:12.279
 God are

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:12.740
 certain,

00:21:13.899 --> 00:21:14.259
 but then

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.719
 death,

00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:15.699
 sickness,

00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:17.339
 disappointment,

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.059
 fear,

00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:21.179
 occupies the

00:21:21.179 --> 00:21:21.980
 whole field

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:22.719
 of vision and

00:21:22.719 --> 00:21:23.279
 suddenly the

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.740
 things we

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:24.719
 confessed yesterday

00:21:24.719 --> 00:21:26.039
 seemed much

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.019
 more difficult

00:21:27.019 --> 00:21:27.859
 to believe

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:29.000
 today.

00:21:30.219 --> 00:21:31.119
 At that

00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:32.000
 point, the

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:32.579
 written word

00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:33.559
 comes to us

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.319
 as Jesus

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:34.959
 comes to

00:21:34.959 --> 00:21:35.699
 Martha and

00:21:35.699 --> 00:21:36.199
 asks,

00:21:36.500 --> 00:21:37.879
 did I not

00:21:37.879 --> 00:21:39.019
 tell you?

00:21:40.439 --> 00:21:41.379
 Did I not

00:21:41.379 --> 00:21:41.859
 tell you that

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:42.279
 I am the

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:43.000
 resurrection and

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:43.500
 the life?

00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:44.480
 Did I not

00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:45.000
 tell you that

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.880
 whoever believes

00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:46.299
 in me,

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:46.720
 though he

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:47.099
 die,

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:47.640
 yet shall

00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:48.359
 he live?

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:49.599
 Did I not

00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:50.259
 tell you that

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:51.000
 no one can

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:51.700
 snatch my

00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:52.220
 sheep from

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:52.859
 my hand?

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:54.200
 Did I not

00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:54.839
 tell you that

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.660
 all things

00:21:55.660 --> 00:21:56.359
 work together

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:57.079
 for good for

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.519
 those who

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.059
 love God

00:21:58.059 --> 00:21:58.339
 and are

00:21:58.339 --> 00:21:59.140
 called according

00:21:59.140 --> 00:21:59.519
 to his

00:21:59.519 --> 00:21:59.859
 purpose?

00:21:59.859 --> 00:22:01.720
 Did I not

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.460
 tell you that

00:22:02.460 --> 00:22:03.619
 nothing in all

00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:04.519
 creation can

00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:05.500
 separate you from

00:22:05.500 --> 00:22:06.039
 the love of

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:06.819
 God in

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.559
 Christ

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:08.799
 Jesus?

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.180
 faith does

00:22:11.180 --> 00:22:11.799
 not require

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:12.940
 us to

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.419
 know

00:22:13.419 --> 00:22:14.339
 everything

00:22:14.339 --> 00:22:15.200
 God

00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:16.220
 is doing.

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:17.659
 Faith

00:22:17.659 --> 00:22:18.379
 requires us

00:22:18.379 --> 00:22:19.220
 to trust

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:20.299
 what God

00:22:20.299 --> 00:22:21.779
 has said.

00:22:22.859 --> 00:22:23.399
 And Jesus

00:22:23.399 --> 00:22:24.000
 tells Martha

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.720
 that through

00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:25.659
 believing she

00:22:25.659 --> 00:22:26.460
 will see

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.680
 the glory

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.899
 of God.

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.119
 And Jesus

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:30.799
 tells Martha

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.220
 that if she

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:33.659
 will grasp

00:22:33.659 --> 00:22:34.519
 hold of this

00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:35.200
 reality,

00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:37.420
 she will

00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:38.759
 be enthralled.

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:40.620
 Now we need

00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:41.140
 to be careful

00:22:41.140 --> 00:22:41.559
 with these

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:42.180
 words because

00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:42.720
 this verse

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.360
 has sometimes

00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:44.059
 been interpreted

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.440
 as though

00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:45.200
 Martha's faith

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:46.259
 itself were

00:22:46.259 --> 00:22:47.000
 the force

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.559
 that would

00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:47.880
 make the

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:48.759
 miracle possible.

00:22:49.019 --> 00:22:49.400
 As though

00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:49.900
 Jesus was

00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:50.380
 saying that

00:22:50.380 --> 00:22:50.620
 if she

00:22:50.620 --> 00:22:51.460
 could summon

00:22:51.460 --> 00:22:51.900
 enough

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.660
 confidence,

00:22:52.860 --> 00:22:53.360
 her faith

00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:54.240
 would unlock

00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:55.860
 divine power.

00:22:56.779 --> 00:22:57.519
 That cannot

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:59.380
 possibly be

00:22:59.380 --> 00:22:59.860
 the point.

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:01.819
 The power

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:02.100
 of this

00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:02.600
 passage does

00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:03.220
 not belong

00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:04.080
 to Martha's

00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:04.640
 faith.

00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:05.759
 The power

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.819
 belongs to

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:07.620
 Jesus Christ.

00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:09.319
 Lazarus

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:09.660
 will not

00:23:09.660 --> 00:23:10.120
 walk out

00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:10.340
 of the

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:10.519
 tomb

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:10.779
 because

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:11.100
 Martha

00:23:11.100 --> 00:23:11.299
 has

00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:11.660
 finally

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:12.180
 achieved

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:12.360
 the

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:12.640
 proper

00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:13.220
 psychological

00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:13.900
 condition.

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:14.900
 He will

00:23:14.900 --> 00:23:15.240
 walk out

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:15.460
 of the

00:23:15.460 --> 00:23:15.720
 tomb

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.059
 because

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:16.319
 the

00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:16.640
 Son of

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:16.960
 God

00:23:16.960 --> 00:23:17.460
 possesses

00:23:17.460 --> 00:23:17.920
 authority

00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:18.440
 to give

00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:18.840
 life

00:23:18.840 --> 00:23:19.700
 to the

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.019
 dead.

00:23:21.059 --> 00:23:21.400
 Faith

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:21.740
 does not

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.400
 create

00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.000
 the glory

00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:23.620
 of Christ.

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:24.680
 Faith

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:25.920
 beholds

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.420
 the glory

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:26.960
 that already

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:27.500
 belongs

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:28.740
 to Christ.

00:23:29.819 --> 00:23:30.519
 That is

00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:31.259
 an enormously

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:32.059
 important

00:23:32.059 --> 00:23:32.740
 distinction,

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:33.840
 particularly

00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:34.319
 in an age

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:34.779
 when faith

00:23:34.779 --> 00:23:35.379
 is so often

00:23:35.379 --> 00:23:35.940
 treated as

00:23:35.940 --> 00:23:36.119
 though it

00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:36.440
 were a

00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:36.779
 force

00:23:36.779 --> 00:23:37.680
 within us

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:38.460
 by which

00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:39.259
 we manipulate

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:40.779
 outcomes.

00:23:42.339 --> 00:23:42.559
 Biblical

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:43.220
 faith is

00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:44.319
 not confidence

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:45.240
 in

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:46.559
 confidence.

00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:48.079
 It is not

00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:48.519
 believing

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.339
 strongly

00:23:49.339 --> 00:23:49.879
 enough that

00:23:49.879 --> 00:23:50.279
 something

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:50.960
 desirable

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.980
 will happen.

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:52.940
 Biblical

00:23:52.940 --> 00:23:53.539
 faith

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.700
 has an

00:23:54.700 --> 00:23:55.059
 object.

00:23:56.420 --> 00:23:56.819
 It

00:23:56.819 --> 00:23:57.519
 rests upon

00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:58.200
 the character,

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:58.899
 promises,

00:23:58.900 --> 00:23:59.759
 and person

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.580
 of God

00:24:00.580 --> 00:24:02.160
 supremely

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.100
 revealed

00:24:03.100 --> 00:24:04.280
 in Jesus

00:24:04.280 --> 00:24:04.820
 Christ.

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.519
 And that

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:06.860
 brings us

00:24:06.860 --> 00:24:07.080
 to the

00:24:07.080 --> 00:24:07.580
 question,

00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:10.060
 what exactly

00:24:10.060 --> 00:24:10.860
 is the

00:24:10.860 --> 00:24:11.560
 glory Martha

00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:12.040
 is about

00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:12.580
 to see?

00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:14.460
 Certainly

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:15.320
 she is going

00:24:15.320 --> 00:24:15.740
 to witness

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.280
 something

00:24:16.280 --> 00:24:17.120
 spectacular

00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:18.340
 because her

00:24:18.340 --> 00:24:18.820
 brother is

00:24:18.820 --> 00:24:19.140
 about to

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:19.640
 walk out

00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:20.060
 of his

00:24:20.060 --> 00:24:20.580
 tomb.

00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:22.180
 But in

00:24:22.180 --> 00:24:22.860
 John's

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:23.580
 gospel,

00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:24.160
 the glory

00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:24.660
 of God

00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:25.320
 is never

00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:26.180
 merely

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:27.480
 spectacle.

00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:29.560
 John told

00:24:29.560 --> 00:24:29.880
 us at the

00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:30.420
 very beginning

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:30.700
 of the

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.460
 gospel that

00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:31.940
 the eternal

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:32.680
 word became

00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:33.560
 flesh and

00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:34.080
 dwelt among

00:24:34.080 --> 00:24:35.200
 us, and

00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:35.660
 that in

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:36.380
 him the

00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:36.840
 disciples

00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:37.400
 beheld

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:38.019
 the glory

00:24:38.019 --> 00:24:38.420
 of the

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:39.360
 only Son

00:24:39.360 --> 00:24:40.480
 from the

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:40.820
 Father.

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:43.100
 In other

00:24:43.100 --> 00:24:43.500
 words, the

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:44.120
 glory of God

00:24:44.120 --> 00:24:44.460
 is being

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:45.580
 revealed in

00:24:45.580 --> 00:24:46.320
 the person

00:24:46.320 --> 00:24:47.519
 of Jesus

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.519
 Christ.

00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:50.400
 If you

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:50.720
 want to

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.660
 know what

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:52.019
 God is

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:52.460
 like,

00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:53.980
 look at

00:24:53.980 --> 00:24:54.380
 the Son.

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:55.819
 This

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.279
 morning as

00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:57.200
 we consider

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:58.180
 Christ standing

00:24:58.180 --> 00:24:58.720
 outside the

00:24:58.720 --> 00:24:59.700
 tomb, behold

00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:01.799
 your God.

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:03.539
 This

00:25:03.539 --> 00:25:03.980
 morning as

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:04.519
 we look

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:04.940
 and read

00:25:04.940 --> 00:25:05.779
 testimony of

00:25:05.779 --> 00:25:06.480
 the resurrection

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.460
 of Lazarus,

00:25:07.620 --> 00:25:09.120
 behold your

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:10.319
 God.

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.599
 Faith

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.920
 beholds the

00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:14.279
 glory of

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:14.680
 Christ.

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:16.380
 So when

00:25:16.380 --> 00:25:16.900
 Jesus tells

00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:17.660
 Martha that

00:25:17.660 --> 00:25:18.259
 she will see

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:18.900
 the glory of

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:19.339
 God, he

00:25:19.339 --> 00:25:19.940
 is not merely

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:20.799
 promising her

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.579
 an extraordinary

00:25:21.579 --> 00:25:22.200
 moment.

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.620
 He is

00:25:23.619 --> 00:25:24.299
 inviting her

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.819
 to see

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:25.599
 more clearly

00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:26.959
 who he

00:25:26.959 --> 00:25:28.099
 is.

00:25:29.459 --> 00:25:29.599
 And

00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:29.859
 Christian

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:31.379
 faith still

00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:32.279
 does exactly

00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:33.159
 that.

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.939
 Faith looks

00:25:34.939 --> 00:25:36.059
 through the

00:25:36.059 --> 00:25:36.559
 providence.

00:25:36.719 --> 00:25:37.199
 It cannot

00:25:37.199 --> 00:25:38.759
 explain to

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.559
 the Christ

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:40.399
 whose

00:25:40.399 --> 00:25:41.039
 character

00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:42.759
 it knows.

00:25:44.399 --> 00:25:44.719
 And

00:25:44.719 --> 00:25:45.619
 consider how

00:25:45.619 --> 00:25:47.159
 remarkable

00:25:47.159 --> 00:25:48.539
 the revelation

00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:50.539
 is here.

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:52.619
 Jesus

00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:53.779
 firstly

00:25:53.779 --> 00:25:54.500
 confronts

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:54.799
 death.

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:55.339
 Secondly

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:56.559
 calls us

00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:57.099
 to see

00:25:57.099 --> 00:25:58.000
 his glory.

00:25:59.359 --> 00:25:59.920
 Thirdly

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.599
 Jesus

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.779
 communes

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:02.940
 with the

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:03.299
 Father.

00:26:04.159 --> 00:26:04.559
 Verses

00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:05.139
 41

00:26:05.139 --> 00:26:06.920
 and 42

00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:07.960
 so they

00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:08.420
 took away

00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:09.000
 the stone

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.019
 and Jesus

00:26:10.019 --> 00:26:10.700
 lifted up

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.100
 his eyes

00:26:11.100 --> 00:26:11.519
 and said

00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:12.160
 Father I

00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:12.720
 thank you

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.140
 that you

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:13.800
 have heard

00:26:13.800 --> 00:26:14.060
 me.

00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:15.539
 I knew

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.060
 that you

00:26:16.060 --> 00:26:17.279
 always hear

00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.400
 me but I

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:18.940
 said this

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.480
 on account

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:20.060
 of the

00:26:20.060 --> 00:26:20.300
 people

00:26:20.300 --> 00:26:20.700
 standing

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:21.160
 around

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:21.560
 that they

00:26:21.560 --> 00:26:22.400
 may believe

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.120
 that you

00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:23.640
 sent me.

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:25.680
 For those

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:26.519
 keeping score

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:27.320
 this is

00:26:27.320 --> 00:26:28.140
 I argue

00:26:28.140 --> 00:26:28.960
 the chiastic

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:29.380
 center

00:26:29.380 --> 00:26:30.100
 of the

00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:30.500
 text.

00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:32.140
 Although we

00:26:32.140 --> 00:26:32.560
 have not

00:26:32.560 --> 00:26:33.220
 arrived at

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:33.700
 the middle

00:26:33.700 --> 00:26:35.400
 of the

00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:35.680
 sermon.

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:37.940
 verse 41

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:38.759
 begins

00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:40.060
 so they

00:26:40.060 --> 00:26:41.140
 took away

00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:42.680
 the stone.

00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:44.560
 There's a

00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:46.200
 quiet beauty

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.860
 in the

00:26:46.860 --> 00:26:47.240
 simplicity

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.860
 of that

00:26:47.860 --> 00:26:48.799
 obedience.

00:26:50.060 --> 00:26:50.500
 Jesus has

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.900
 spoken

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:52.000
 Martha has

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:52.580
 expressed her

00:26:52.580 --> 00:26:53.140
 concern

00:26:53.140 --> 00:26:54.039
 Jesus is a

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.640
 reminder her

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.000
 of his

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.420
 promise

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:56.080
 and now

00:26:56.080 --> 00:26:56.880
 the stone

00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:57.980
 is removed.

00:26:59.259 --> 00:26:59.840
 Then John

00:26:59.840 --> 00:27:00.799
 tells us

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:01.980
 and Jesus

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.220
 lifted up

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:03.920
 his eyes

00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.019
 and said

00:27:05.019 --> 00:27:06.440
 father I

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:07.000
 thank you

00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:07.539
 that you

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:08.799
 have heard

00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:09.119
 me.

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:11.240
 Before

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:11.879
 Jesus speaks

00:27:11.879 --> 00:27:12.579
 to Lazarus

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:13.700
 he speaks

00:27:13.700 --> 00:27:13.980
 to his

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:15.220
 father and

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:15.559
 for a

00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:15.900
 moment

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:16.759
 John allows

00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:17.259
 us to

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:17.980
 overhear

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:19.180
 something of

00:27:19.180 --> 00:27:19.779
 the communion

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.400
 that exists

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.139
 eternally

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:21.740
 between the

00:27:21.740 --> 00:27:23.059
 father and

00:27:23.059 --> 00:27:23.480
 the son.

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:25.220
 This

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:25.759
 relationship

00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:26.119
 has been

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:26.579
 one of the

00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:27.379
 dominant themes

00:27:27.379 --> 00:27:27.920
 of John's

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.740
 gospel from

00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:29.259
 the beginning.

00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:30.639
 The son is

00:27:30.639 --> 00:27:30.960
 from the

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.339
 father.

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:32.019
 The son is

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:33.019
 sent by the

00:27:33.019 --> 00:27:33.379
 father.

00:27:33.380 --> 00:27:33.860
 The son

00:27:33.860 --> 00:27:34.520
 speaks the

00:27:34.520 --> 00:27:35.060
 words of

00:27:35.060 --> 00:27:35.600
 the father.

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:35.960
 The son

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:37.040
 performs the

00:27:37.040 --> 00:27:38.120
 works of

00:27:38.120 --> 00:27:38.780
 the father.

00:27:39.320 --> 00:27:39.640
 The father

00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:40.360
 loves the

00:27:40.360 --> 00:27:40.600
 son.

00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:40.960
 The son

00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:41.520
 perfectly

00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:42.400
 delights in

00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:42.900
 the will

00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:43.820
 of the

00:27:43.820 --> 00:27:44.140
 father.

00:27:45.420 --> 00:27:46.180
 There is

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:47.460
 no competition

00:27:47.460 --> 00:27:48.240
 within the

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:48.660
 Godhead.

00:27:48.760 --> 00:27:49.480
 No disagreement

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.100
 of purpose.

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.680
 No reluctant

00:27:50.680 --> 00:27:51.840
 father whom

00:27:51.840 --> 00:27:52.500
 the compassionate

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:53.140
 son must

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:54.320
 somehow persuade

00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:55.320
 to be

00:27:55.320 --> 00:27:55.680
 merciful.

00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:57.480
 Father and

00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:58.820
 son act in

00:27:58.820 --> 00:27:59.240
 perfect

00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.280
 unity.

00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.399
 me.

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:01.579
 And so

00:28:01.579 --> 00:28:02.559
 Jesus lifts

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.119
 his eyes

00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:03.619
 and says

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:04.079
 father I

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:04.579
 thank you

00:28:04.579 --> 00:28:05.579
 that you

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:07.220
 have heard

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:07.539
 me.

00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:09.579
 Notice the

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:09.960
 tense.

00:28:11.259 --> 00:28:11.700
 Jesus does

00:28:11.700 --> 00:28:12.139
 not say

00:28:12.139 --> 00:28:13.000
 father I

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.359
 hope you

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:13.660
 will hear

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:14.039
 me nor

00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:14.339
 does he

00:28:14.339 --> 00:28:14.920
 say father

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:16.099
 please decide

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:16.759
 now whether

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.299
 you will

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:17.779
 grant my

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:18.480
 request.

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:19.980
 He thanks

00:28:19.980 --> 00:28:20.500
 the father

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.139
 that he

00:28:21.139 --> 00:28:23.240
 has heard

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:23.539
 him.

00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:25.399
 Whatever

00:28:25.399 --> 00:28:26.240
 communion has

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:27.420
 already passed

00:28:27.420 --> 00:28:28.139
 between father

00:28:28.139 --> 00:28:28.599
 and son

00:28:28.599 --> 00:28:29.079
 concerning

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:29.740
 Lazarus is

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:30.339
 not recorded

00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:31.000
 for us.

00:28:31.659 --> 00:28:32.399
 But Jesus

00:28:32.399 --> 00:28:33.139
 thanksgiving

00:28:33.139 --> 00:28:33.839
 makes clear

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.199
 that the

00:28:34.199 --> 00:28:34.839
 miracle about

00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:35.399
 to occur

00:28:35.399 --> 00:28:35.859
 is the

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:36.759
 outworking

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.720
 of their

00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:38.379
 perfect

00:28:38.379 --> 00:28:39.539
 agreement.

00:28:41.179 --> 00:28:41.759
 Then he

00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:42.039
 says in

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:42.579
 verse 42

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:43.799
 I knew

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:44.659
 that you

00:28:44.659 --> 00:28:45.319
 always

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:46.419
 hear me.

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:47.659
 There has

00:28:47.659 --> 00:28:48.319
 never been

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:48.859
 nor could

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:49.339
 there ever

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:49.879
 be a

00:28:49.879 --> 00:28:50.539
 defect in

00:28:50.539 --> 00:28:50.960
 the communion

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.480
 between the

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:52.139
 father and

00:28:52.139 --> 00:28:52.559
 the son.

00:28:53.579 --> 00:28:54.099
 Every prayer

00:28:54.099 --> 00:28:54.500
 of Jesus

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:55.319
 arises from

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:55.659
 perfect

00:28:55.659 --> 00:28:56.199
 righteousness

00:28:56.199 --> 00:28:56.699
 perfect

00:28:56.699 --> 00:28:57.220
 wisdom

00:28:57.220 --> 00:28:57.639
 perfect

00:28:57.639 --> 00:28:58.199
 submission

00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:59.319
 and perfect

00:28:59.319 --> 00:28:59.960
 fellowship

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:01.120
 with his

00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:01.480
 father.

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:03.340
 And that

00:29:03.340 --> 00:29:03.900
 matters

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:04.680
 because

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.559
 Lazarus'

00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:06.340
 resurrection

00:29:06.340 --> 00:29:06.960
 is not

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.400
 intended

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.200
 merely to

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:08.860
 demonstrate

00:29:08.860 --> 00:29:10.019
 that Jesus

00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:10.299
 is a

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:10.700
 powerful

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.140
 miracle

00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:11.539
 worker.

00:29:12.580 --> 00:29:13.500
 It reveals

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:15.080
 his identity

00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:16.200
 who he

00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:17.180
 is.

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.799
 Back in

00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:21.259
 John 5

00:29:21.259 --> 00:29:22.039
 which in a

00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:22.600
 broader

00:29:22.600 --> 00:29:23.140
 chiastic

00:29:23.140 --> 00:29:23.640
 structure

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:24.120
 corresponds

00:29:24.120 --> 00:29:24.740
 with this

00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:25.120
 chapter

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.159
 after Jesus

00:29:26.159 --> 00:29:26.599
 healed the

00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:26.899
 man at

00:29:26.899 --> 00:29:27.199
 the pool

00:29:27.199 --> 00:29:28.359
 of Bethesda

00:29:28.359 --> 00:29:29.159
 and the

00:29:29.159 --> 00:29:29.459
 religious

00:29:29.459 --> 00:29:29.839
 leaders

00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:30.219
 became

00:29:30.219 --> 00:29:30.919
 enraged

00:29:30.919 --> 00:29:31.319
 because he

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:31.759
 was making

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.299
 himself

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:33.079
 equal with

00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:33.719
 God

00:29:33.719 --> 00:29:34.619
 Jesus

00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:35.259
 explained

00:29:35.259 --> 00:29:35.939
 that the

00:29:35.939 --> 00:29:36.719
 son does

00:29:36.719 --> 00:29:37.039
 what he

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:37.779
 sees the

00:29:37.779 --> 00:29:38.159
 father

00:29:38.159 --> 00:29:39.399
 doing.

00:29:40.739 --> 00:29:41.019
 And among

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.579
 the divine

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:42.059
 works

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:42.359
 Jesus

00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:43.319
 explicitly

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:43.839
 claimed for

00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:44.299
 himself

00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:44.839
 was

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:45.919
 the giving

00:29:45.919 --> 00:29:47.539
 of life.

00:29:48.539 --> 00:29:48.959
 He said

00:29:48.959 --> 00:29:49.379
 for as the

00:29:49.379 --> 00:29:50.039
 father raises

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.479
 the dead

00:29:50.479 --> 00:29:50.799
 and gives

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.319
 them life

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:52.059
 so also

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:52.679
 the son

00:29:52.679 --> 00:29:53.539
 gives life

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:54.259
 to whom

00:29:54.259 --> 00:29:55.579
 he will.

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.399
 Now

00:29:57.399 --> 00:29:57.700
 several

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:58.059
 chapters

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.460
 later

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:59.519
 the truth

00:29:59.519 --> 00:29:59.799
 of that

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:00.240
 claim

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:01.279
 stands

00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:02.119
 before us

00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:02.779
 in visible

00:30:02.779 --> 00:30:03.799
 form.

00:30:04.539 --> 00:30:05.159
 The father

00:30:05.159 --> 00:30:05.980
 gives life

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.559
 the son

00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.000
 gives life

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.980
 the father

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:09.419
 and son

00:30:09.419 --> 00:30:09.740
 are not

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:10.179
 competing

00:30:10.179 --> 00:30:10.839
 agents

00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:11.419
 but act

00:30:11.419 --> 00:30:11.940
 together

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:12.399
 in the

00:30:12.399 --> 00:30:12.759
 work of

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.099
 God.

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:14.359
 And

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:14.720
 therefore

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.179
 when Jesus

00:30:15.179 --> 00:30:15.740
 stands in

00:30:15.740 --> 00:30:16.000
 front of

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.379
 Lazarus

00:30:16.379 --> 00:30:16.779
 grave

00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:17.480
 and prepares

00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:18.019
 to call

00:30:18.019 --> 00:30:18.559
 him out

00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:19.339
 we are

00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:19.960
 seeing

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.859
 more than

00:30:20.859 --> 00:30:21.399
 a prophet

00:30:21.399 --> 00:30:21.839
 through whom

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:22.119
 God

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:22.639
 happens

00:30:22.639 --> 00:30:23.119
 to perform

00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:23.319
 an

00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:23.759
 extraordinary

00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:24.639
 miracle.

00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:25.879
 We are

00:30:25.879 --> 00:30:26.119
 seeing

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:26.859
 the divine

00:30:26.859 --> 00:30:27.579
 son

00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:28.579
 exercising

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:29.220
 the life

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.500
 giving

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:30.059
 authority

00:30:30.059 --> 00:30:30.939
 he shares

00:30:30.939 --> 00:30:31.819
 with the

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:32.159
 father.

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:34.119
 Jesus

00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:34.319
 then

00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:34.939
 explains

00:30:34.939 --> 00:30:36.220
 why

00:30:36.220 --> 00:30:36.899
 he has

00:30:36.899 --> 00:30:37.439
 prayed

00:30:37.439 --> 00:30:38.759
 aloud.

00:30:39.980 --> 00:30:40.579
 I said

00:30:40.579 --> 00:30:40.959
 this

00:30:40.959 --> 00:30:41.619
 on account

00:30:41.619 --> 00:30:42.139
 of the

00:30:42.139 --> 00:30:42.619
 people

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:43.819
 standing

00:30:43.819 --> 00:30:44.819
 around.

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:46.279
 In other

00:30:46.279 --> 00:30:46.539
 words

00:30:46.539 --> 00:30:46.919
 the prayer

00:30:46.919 --> 00:30:47.299
 is not

00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:48.079
 necessary

00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:48.459
 because

00:30:48.459 --> 00:30:48.859
 the father

00:30:48.859 --> 00:30:49.359
 needs

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:50.099
 information

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:50.480
 or

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:51.299
 persuasion

00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:52.659
 Jesus

00:30:52.659 --> 00:30:53.180
 prays

00:30:53.180 --> 00:30:53.779
 audibly

00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:54.460
 for the

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:54.779
 benefit

00:30:54.779 --> 00:30:55.940
 of the

00:30:55.940 --> 00:30:56.359
 crowd

00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:57.859
 and why

00:30:57.859 --> 00:30:58.480
 to what

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:58.819
 end

00:30:58.819 --> 00:30:59.180
 to what

00:30:59.180 --> 00:30:59.619
 benefit

00:30:59.619 --> 00:31:01.059
 that they

00:31:01.059 --> 00:31:01.859
 may

00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:03.019
 believe

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:03.980
 that you

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.220
 sent

00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:04.519
 me.

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.839
 For those

00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:09.099
 of you

00:31:09.099 --> 00:31:09.500
 who don't

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:09.759
 know

00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:10.279
 I'm a

00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:10.599
 type 1

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.039
 diabetic

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:13.240
 my phone

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.500
 is on

00:31:13.500 --> 00:31:13.839
 silent

00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:14.259
 but not

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:14.539
 when my

00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:14.720
 blood

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:15.059
 sugar is

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:15.399
 dropping

00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.280
 so that's

00:31:17.280 --> 00:31:17.460
 what's

00:31:17.460 --> 00:31:17.740
 beeping

00:31:17.740 --> 00:31:18.519
 very loudly

00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:19.100
 I'm

00:31:19.100 --> 00:31:19.660
 okay

00:31:19.660 --> 00:31:20.060
 don't

00:31:20.060 --> 00:31:20.300
 worry

00:31:20.300 --> 00:31:20.560
 about

00:31:20.560 --> 00:31:20.800
 me

00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:22.220
 my

00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:22.440
 little

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:22.780
 stumbles

00:31:22.780 --> 00:31:23.019
 over

00:31:23.019 --> 00:31:23.380
 words

00:31:23.380 --> 00:31:23.540
 have

00:31:23.540 --> 00:31:23.720
 been

00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:24.000
 because

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:24.140
 I

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.259
 think

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:24.420
 my

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:24.580
 blood

00:31:24.580 --> 00:31:24.759
 sugar

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:24.960
 is

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:25.259
 dropping

00:31:25.259 --> 00:31:25.500
 but

00:31:25.500 --> 00:31:25.680
 we're

00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:25.780
 going

00:31:25.780 --> 00:31:25.840
 to

00:31:25.840 --> 00:31:26.040
 make

00:31:26.040 --> 00:31:26.200
 it

00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:26.540
 through

00:31:26.540 --> 00:31:27.160
 I'm

00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:27.220
 going

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:27.259
 to

00:31:27.259 --> 00:31:27.440
 make

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:27.560
 it

00:31:27.560 --> 00:31:27.700
 to

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:27.880
 a

00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:28.140
 glass

00:31:28.140 --> 00:31:28.280
 of

00:31:28.280 --> 00:31:28.560
 juice

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:29.579
 my

00:31:29.579 --> 00:31:30.159
 lovely

00:31:30.159 --> 00:31:30.460
 wife

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:30.619
 is

00:31:30.619 --> 00:31:30.700
 going

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:30.759
 to

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:30.859
 go

00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:31.000
 get

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.119
 me

00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:31.279
 one

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.440
 right

00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:31.599
 now

00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:31.799
 thank

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:31.919
 you

00:31:31.919 --> 00:31:32.119
 Sam

00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.519
 I

00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:34.679
 don't

00:31:34.679 --> 00:31:34.819
 think

00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:34.940
 I

00:31:34.940 --> 00:31:35.059
 could

00:31:35.059 --> 00:31:35.220
 tell

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.379
 her

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:35.740
 no

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.019
 at

00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:36.200
 this

00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:36.519
 point

00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.220
 so

00:31:37.220 --> 00:31:38.119
 she'll

00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:38.299
 bring

00:31:38.299 --> 00:31:38.419
 it

00:31:38.419 --> 00:31:38.559
 up

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:38.740
 here

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:39.579
 momentarily

00:31:39.579 --> 00:31:45.019
 this

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.119
 is

00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:45.319
 another

00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:45.619
 great

00:31:46.179 --> 00:31:46.679
 of

00:31:46.679 --> 00:31:47.379
 the

00:31:47.379 --> 00:31:47.759
 chapter

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.319
 right

00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:49.859
 not

00:31:49.859 --> 00:31:50.059
 only

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:50.659
 glory

00:31:50.659 --> 00:31:51.799
 but

00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:52.440
 belief

00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:54.059
 Jesus

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:54.460
 said

00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:54.619
 the

00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:55.019
 disciples

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:55.419
 would

00:31:55.419 --> 00:31:55.960
 believe

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:56.379
 he

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:56.659
 asked

00:31:56.659 --> 00:31:57.240
 Martha

00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:57.559
 whether

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:58.019
 she

00:31:58.019 --> 00:31:59.379
 believed

00:31:59.379 --> 00:32:00.220
 now

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:00.400
 he

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.160
 prays

00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:01.639
 so

00:32:01.639 --> 00:32:01.759
 that

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:01.879
 the

00:32:01.879 --> 00:32:02.400
 crowd

00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:03.220
 might

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:03.900
 believe

00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:05.119
 and

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:05.460
 eventually

00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:05.740
 John

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:05.879
 will

00:32:05.879 --> 00:32:06.079
 tell

00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:06.200
 us

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:06.420
 that's

00:32:06.420 --> 00:32:06.599
 why

00:32:06.599 --> 00:32:06.759
 he

00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:06.960
 wrote

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:07.119
 the

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:07.440
 gospel

00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.079
 itself

00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:08.379
 John

00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:08.940
 you've

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:09.059
 heard

00:32:09.059 --> 00:32:09.240
 this

00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:09.460
 many

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:09.920
 times

00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:10.139
 verse

00:32:10.139 --> 00:32:10.440
 30

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.559
 and

00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:11.059
 31

00:32:11.059 --> 00:32:12.039
 Jesus

00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:12.220
 did

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:12.460
 many

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:12.680
 other

00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:13.180
 signs

00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:13.420
 in the

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:13.700
 presence

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:13.839
 of

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:13.920
 the

00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:14.299
 disciples

00:32:14.299 --> 00:32:14.519
 which

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:14.619
 are

00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:14.839
 not

00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:15.079
 written

00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:15.220
 in

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:15.379
 this

00:32:15.379 --> 00:32:15.700
 book

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:16.379
 but

00:32:16.379 --> 00:32:16.879
 these

00:32:16.879 --> 00:32:17.099
 are

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:17.480
 written

00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.839
 so

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:19.980
 that

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:20.079
 you

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:20.240
 may

00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:20.940
 believe

00:32:20.940 --> 00:32:21.240
 that

00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:21.660
 Jesus

00:32:21.660 --> 00:32:22.059
 is

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.279
 the

00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:22.839
 Christ

00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:23.259
 the

 Son

00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:23.660
 of

 God

00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:24.660
 and

00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:24.799
 that

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:25.039
 by

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.599
 believing

00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:25.859
 you

00:32:25.859 --> 00:32:26.000
 may

00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.220
 have

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.799
 life

00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:27.519
 in

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:27.720
 his

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.180
 name

00:32:28.180 --> 00:32:33.200
 the

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.680
 signs

00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:34.839
 are

00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:35.099
 never

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:35.519
 intended

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:36.659
 to

00:32:36.659 --> 00:32:37.299
 terminate

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:37.879
 upon

00:32:37.879 --> 00:32:38.740
 themselves

00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:40.359
 they're

00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:40.659
 not

00:32:40.659 --> 00:32:40.899
 the

00:32:40.899 --> 00:32:41.359
 point

00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:43.099
 John

00:32:43.099 --> 00:32:43.359
 does not

00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:43.659
 want us

00:32:43.659 --> 00:32:44.099
 merely to

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:44.659
 walk away

00:32:44.659 --> 00:32:45.180
 saying

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.779
 what an

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.359
 astonishing

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:47.500
 miracle

00:32:47.500 --> 00:32:48.900
 he

00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:49.359
 wants

00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:49.599
 us

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:49.799
 to

00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:50.339
 ask

00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:51.240
 what

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:51.660
 does

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:52.000
 this

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:55.660
 Jesus

00:32:55.660 --> 00:32:57.500
 and

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:57.619
 the

00:32:57.619 --> 00:32:57.940
 answer

00:32:57.940 --> 00:32:58.480
 is that

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:58.759
 Jesus

00:32:58.759 --> 00:32:59.779
 is the

 said

00:33:31.739 --> 00:33:31.919
 these

00:33:31.919 --> 00:33:32.179
 things

00:33:32.179 --> 00:33:32.319
 he

 cried

00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:32.719
 out

00:33:32.719 --> 00:33:32.859
 with

00:33:38.219 --> 00:33:38.599
 that

 was

00:33:38.939 --> 00:33:39.299
 fun

 from

00:33:44.220 --> 00:33:48.100
 now

00:33:48.100 --> 00:33:48.259
 we

00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:48.559
 arrive

00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:48.680
 at

 moment

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:50.120
 toward

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.579
 moving

 he

00:33:55.360 --> 00:33:55.480
 had

00:33:58.720 --> 00:33:59.900
 perhaps

00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:00.059
 the

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.220
 most

00:34:01.539 --> 00:34:01.640
 the

00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:02.019
 miracle

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.740
 is

00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:02.900
 the

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:03.480
 complete

00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:04.539
 absence

00:34:04.539 --> 00:34:05.180
 of

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.940
 pomp

00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:07.279
 there

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:07.420
 is

00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:07.579
 no

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:08.019
 ritual

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.240
 there

00:34:08.240 --> 00:34:08.400
 is

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:08.559
 no

00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:09.579
 incantation

00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:09.780
 there

00:34:09.780 --> 00:34:09.940
 is

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.159
 no

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.740
 elaborate

00:34:10.740 --> 00:34:11.519
 ceremony

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:12.599
 jesus

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:12.659
 does

00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:12.840
 not

00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:13.340
 plead

00:34:13.340 --> 00:34:13.619
 with

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.039
 death

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.139
 negotiate

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:15.619
 with

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:16.019
 death

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.460
 or

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.000
 engage

00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:17.179
 in

00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:17.420
 some

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:18.159
 cosmic

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.820
 contest

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.300
 whose

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:19.800
 outcome

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.320
 remains

00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:21.019
 uncertain

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:21.599
 until

00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:22.139
 the

00:34:22.139 --> 00:34:22.500
 final

00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:23.460
 moment

00:34:23.460 --> 00:34:24.500
 he

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:24.940
 simply

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:26.340
 speaks

00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:27.900
 and

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.039
 the

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:28.259
 dead

00:34:28.259 --> 00:34:28.659
 man

00:34:28.659 --> 00:34:30.719
 obeys

00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:32.000
 that

00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:32.219
 should

00:34:32.219 --> 00:34:32.539
 be

00:34:32.539 --> 00:34:33.340
 astonishing

00:34:33.340 --> 00:34:34.320
 to

00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:34.699
 us

00:34:34.699 --> 00:34:35.699
 we

00:34:35.699 --> 00:34:35.840
 are

00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:36.099
 not

00:34:36.099 --> 00:34:37.079
 dualists

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:38.059
 thinking

00:34:38.059 --> 00:34:38.360
 that

00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:38.900
 somehow

00:34:38.900 --> 00:34:39.460
 the

00:34:39.460 --> 00:34:40.239
 battle

00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:40.579
 between

00:34:40.579 --> 00:34:40.980
 light

00:34:40.980 --> 00:34:41.259
 and

00:34:41.259 --> 00:34:41.559
 death

00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:41.860
 is

00:34:41.860 --> 00:34:42.159
 not

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:42.880
 already

00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:44.019
 settled

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:45.719
 jesus

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:46.480
 simply

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:47.819
 says

00:34:47.819 --> 00:34:48.799
 lazarus

00:34:48.799 --> 00:34:50.559
 come

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:50.860
 out

00:34:50.860 --> 00:34:52.679
 i think

00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:52.819
 our

00:34:52.819 --> 00:34:53.159
 familiarity

00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:53.860
 with

00:34:53.860 --> 00:34:54.039
 the

00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:54.319
 story

00:34:54.319 --> 00:34:54.739
 sometimes

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:55.179
 prevents

00:34:55.179 --> 00:34:55.460
 us

00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:55.659
 from

00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:56.139
 feeling

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:56.400
 the

00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:56.840
 force

00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:57.059
 of

00:34:57.059 --> 00:34:57.219
 what

00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:57.579
 john

00:34:57.579 --> 00:34:58.340
 records

00:34:58.340 --> 00:35:00.299
 imagine

00:35:00.299 --> 00:35:00.619
 that you

00:35:00.619 --> 00:35:00.960
 have been

00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:01.279
 there

00:35:01.279 --> 00:35:02.360
 you have

00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:02.840
 watched

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:03.400
 lazarus

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:03.840
 become

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:04.259
 sick

00:35:04.259 --> 00:35:04.559
 you have

00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:05.239
 heard

00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:05.539
 that he

00:35:05.539 --> 00:35:05.880
 died

00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:06.360
 perhaps

00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:06.960
 you

00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:07.079
 had

00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:07.420
 helped

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:07.940
 wash

00:35:07.940 --> 00:35:08.119
 and

00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:08.380
 prepare

00:35:08.380 --> 00:35:08.579
 the

00:35:08.579 --> 00:35:08.960
 body

00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.659
 you

00:35:09.659 --> 00:35:09.799
 have

00:35:09.799 --> 00:35:10.139
 attended

00:35:10.139 --> 00:35:10.379
 the

00:35:10.379 --> 00:35:10.799
 burial

00:35:10.799 --> 00:35:11.079
 you

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.859
 watched

00:35:11.859 --> 00:35:12.119
 as

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.279
 his

00:35:12.279 --> 00:35:12.539
 body

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:12.739
 was

00:35:12.739 --> 00:35:13.159
 carried

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:13.519
 into

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:13.719
 the

00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:13.980
 doom

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:14.139
 and

00:35:14.139 --> 00:35:14.299
 the

00:35:14.299 --> 00:35:14.719
 stone

00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:15.159
 rolled

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:15.679
 across

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:16.039
 the

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:16.480
 opening

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:17.819
 four

00:35:17.819 --> 00:35:18.679
 days

00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:19.079
 have

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:19.259
 now

00:35:19.259 --> 00:35:19.819
 passed

00:35:19.819 --> 00:35:20.019
 and

00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:20.139
 you

00:35:20.139 --> 00:35:20.259
 have

00:35:20.259 --> 00:35:20.460
 spent

00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:20.699
 those

00:35:20.699 --> 00:35:21.079
 days

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:21.659
 sitting

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:21.839
 with

00:35:21.839 --> 00:35:22.000
 the

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:22.359
 sisters

00:35:22.359 --> 00:35:23.079
 bringing

00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:23.619
 food

00:35:23.619 --> 00:35:24.319
 speaking

00:35:24.319 --> 00:35:24.679
 words

00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:24.859
 of

00:35:24.859 --> 00:35:25.199
 comfort

00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:25.420
 and

00:35:25.420 --> 00:35:25.699
 doing

00:35:25.699 --> 00:35:25.900
 what

00:35:25.900 --> 00:35:26.179
 people

00:35:26.179 --> 00:35:26.379
 have

00:35:26.379 --> 00:35:26.819
 always

00:35:26.819 --> 00:35:27.119
 done

00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:27.219
 in

00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:27.339
 the

00:35:27.339 --> 00:35:27.699
 face

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:28.179
 of

00:35:28.179 --> 00:35:28.579
 death

00:35:28.579 --> 00:35:29.679
 grieving

00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:30.420
 because

00:35:30.420 --> 00:35:30.659
 there's

00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:30.920
 nothing

00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:31.319
 else

00:35:31.319 --> 00:35:31.900
 that

00:35:31.900 --> 00:35:32.019
 you

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:32.179
 can

00:35:32.179 --> 00:35:32.539
 do

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:34.039
 then

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:34.279
 Jesus

00:35:34.279 --> 00:35:34.839
 arrives

00:35:34.839 --> 00:35:34.879
!

00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:40.359
 into

00:35:40.359 --> 00:35:40.539
 the

00:35:40.539 --> 00:35:40.900
 darkness

00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:41.139
 of

00:35:41.139 --> 00:35:41.279
 the

00:35:41.279 --> 00:35:41.599
 tomb

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:42.279
 perhaps

00:35:42.279 --> 00:35:42.879
 already

00:35:42.879 --> 00:35:43.639
 recoiling

00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:44.099
 at

00:35:44.099 --> 00:35:44.879
 the

00:35:44.879 --> 00:35:45.259
 spell

00:35:45.259 --> 00:35:45.559
 that

00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:45.920
 Martha

00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:46.219
 had

00:35:46.219 --> 00:35:46.599
 warned

00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:46.920
 them

00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:47.319
 about

00:35:47.319 --> 00:35:47.960
 and

00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:48.339
 Jesus

00:35:48.339 --> 00:35:49.059
 cries

00:35:49.059 --> 00:35:49.639
 with a

00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:50.019
 loud

00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:50.859
 voice

00:35:50.859 --> 00:35:51.920
 Lazarus

00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:53.199
 come out

00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:54.639
 then

00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:54.799
 from

00:35:54.799 --> 00:35:55.079
 inside

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.279
 the

00:35:55.279 --> 00:35:55.679
 tomb

00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:56.859
 there

00:35:56.859 --> 00:35:57.000
 is

00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:57.399
 movement

00:35:57.399 --> 00:35:58.699
 the

00:35:58.699 --> 00:35:58.939
 man

00:35:58.939 --> 00:35:59.079
 you

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.480
 buried

00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:00.519
 walks

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:01.339
 out

00:36:01.339 --> 00:36:02.919
 John

00:36:02.919 --> 00:36:03.319
 records

00:36:03.319 --> 00:36:03.419
 it

00:36:03.419 --> 00:36:03.579
 with

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:03.980
 such

00:36:03.980 --> 00:36:05.379
 understatement

00:36:05.379 --> 00:36:06.399
 the

00:36:06.399 --> 00:36:06.779
 man

00:36:06.779 --> 00:36:07.179
 who

00:36:07.179 --> 00:36:07.339
 had

00:36:07.339 --> 00:36:07.719
 died

00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:08.759
 came

00:36:08.759 --> 00:36:09.059
 out

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:10.419
 this

00:36:10.419 --> 00:36:10.539
 is

00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:11.000
 exactly

00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:11.219
 what

00:36:11.219 --> 00:36:11.439
 Jesus

00:36:11.439 --> 00:36:11.639
 said

00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:11.939
 earlier

00:36:11.939 --> 00:36:12.099
 in

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:12.359
 John's

00:36:12.359 --> 00:36:12.699
 gospel

00:36:12.699 --> 00:36:13.039
 would

00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:13.500
 happen

00:36:13.500 --> 00:36:14.299
 in

00:36:14.299 --> 00:36:14.480
 John

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:14.819
 5

00:36:14.819 --> 00:36:14.960
 he

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:15.299
 declared

00:36:15.299 --> 00:36:15.460
 that

00:36:15.460 --> 00:36:15.559
 the

00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:15.799
 hour

00:36:15.799 --> 00:36:15.980
 is

00:36:15.980 --> 00:36:16.239
 coming

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:16.399
 when

00:36:16.399 --> 00:36:16.539
 the

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:16.719
 dead

00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:16.899
 will

00:36:16.899 --> 00:36:17.059
 hear

00:36:17.059 --> 00:36:17.219
 the

00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:17.480
 voice

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:17.599
 of

00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:17.719
 the

00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:17.859
 Son

00:36:17.859 --> 00:36:18.000
 of

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:18.219
 God

00:36:18.219 --> 00:36:18.419
 and

00:36:18.419 --> 00:36:18.759
 those

00:36:18.759 --> 00:36:18.919
 who

00:36:18.919 --> 00:36:19.239
 hear

00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:19.879
 will

00:36:19.879 --> 00:36:20.399
 live

00:36:20.399 --> 00:36:21.419
 what

00:36:21.419 --> 00:36:21.779
 happens

00:36:21.779 --> 00:36:21.960
 in

00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:22.319
 Bethany

00:36:22.319 --> 00:36:22.480
 is

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:22.760
 therefore

00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:23.019
 not

00:36:23.019 --> 00:36:23.300
 merely

00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:23.579
 an

00:36:23.579 --> 00:36:24.179
 isolated

00:36:24.179 --> 00:36:24.920
 demonstration

00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:25.300
 of

00:36:25.300 --> 00:36:25.800
 miraculous

00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:26.380
 power

00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:27.300
 it

00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:27.420
 is

00:36:27.420 --> 00:36:27.579
 a

00:36:27.579 --> 00:36:28.099
 preview

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:28.539
 of

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:28.699
 the

00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:29.099
 life

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:29.460
 giving

00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:29.940
 authority

00:36:29.940 --> 00:36:30.240
 that

00:36:30.240 --> 00:36:30.659
 belongs

00:36:30.659 --> 00:36:30.820
 to

00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:30.980
 the

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:31.280
 Son

00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:31.880
 and

00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:32.099
 a

00:36:32.099 --> 00:36:32.619
 sign

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.240
 pointing

00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:33.840
 forward

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.500
 to

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:34.679
 the

00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:35.179
 final

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:36.300
 resurrection

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:38.260
 there is

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:38.659
 a connection

00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:39.059
 here

00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:39.880
 I think

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:40.599
 with the

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:40.940
 opening

00:36:40.940 --> 00:36:41.460
 chapter

00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:41.780
 of

00:36:41.780 --> 00:36:42.219
 John's

00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:42.619
 gospel

00:36:42.619 --> 00:36:43.280
 where

00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:43.599
 Jesus

00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:44.219
 identified

00:36:44.219 --> 00:36:44.679
 as

00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:44.860
 the

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:45.380
 eternal

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:45.940
 word

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:46.500
 through

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:46.719
 whom

00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:47.119
 all

00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:47.800
 things

00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:48.539
 were

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:48.920
 made

00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:50.380
 in

00:36:50.380 --> 00:36:50.719
 Genesis

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:51.599
 God

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:52.019
 created

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.259
 by

00:36:52.259 --> 00:36:52.940
 speaking

00:36:52.940 --> 00:36:53.440
 let

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:53.779
 there

00:36:53.779 --> 00:36:54.179
 be

00:36:54.179 --> 00:36:55.259
 light

00:36:55.259 --> 00:36:55.900
 and

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:56.039
 light

00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:56.519
 appears

00:36:56.519 --> 00:36:57.779
 God's

00:36:57.779 --> 00:36:58.059
 word

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:58.299
 does

00:36:58.299 --> 00:36:58.480
 not

00:36:58.480 --> 00:36:58.739
 merely

00:36:58.739 --> 00:36:59.339
 describe

00:36:59.339 --> 00:37:00.079
 reality

00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:00.579
 God's

00:37:00.579 --> 00:37:00.759
 word

00:37:00.759 --> 00:37:01.380
 brings

00:37:01.380 --> 00:37:02.119
 reality

00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:02.659
 into

00:37:02.659 --> 00:37:03.719
 existence

00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:05.159
 and

00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:05.299
 now

00:37:05.299 --> 00:37:05.460
 the

00:37:05.460 --> 00:37:05.739
 eternal

00:37:05.739 --> 00:37:06.099
 word

00:37:06.099 --> 00:37:06.299
 through

00:37:06.299 --> 00:37:06.579
 whom

00:37:06.579 --> 00:37:07.179
 creation

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:07.420
 was

00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:07.739
 made

00:37:07.739 --> 00:37:08.299
 stands

00:37:08.299 --> 00:37:08.500
 in

00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:08.759
 front

00:37:08.759 --> 00:37:08.900
 of

00:37:08.900 --> 00:37:09.019
 a

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.339
 grave

00:37:09.339 --> 00:37:09.880
 created

00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:10.139
 by

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:10.339
 the

00:37:10.339 --> 00:37:11.000
 consequences

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:11.339
 of

00:37:11.339 --> 00:37:11.799
 sin

00:37:11.799 --> 00:37:12.759
 speaks

00:37:12.759 --> 00:37:13.000
 into

00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:13.179
 the

00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:13.559
 darkness

00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:14.219
 and

00:37:14.219 --> 00:37:14.420
 where

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:14.619
 there

00:37:14.619 --> 00:37:14.860
 was

00:37:14.860 --> 00:37:15.360
 death

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:15.940
 there

00:37:15.940 --> 00:37:16.779
 is

00:37:16.779 --> 00:37:18.059
 life

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:20.019
 the

00:37:20.019 --> 00:37:20.400
 creator

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:21.219
 exercising

00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:21.460
 his

00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:22.000
 authority

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:22.639
 over

00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:23.340
 his

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:23.880
 creation

00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:25.239
 and

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:25.360
 at

00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:25.500
 least

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:25.860
 three

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:26.219
 great

00:37:26.219 --> 00:37:26.779
 truths

00:37:26.779 --> 00:37:27.519
 emerge

00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:28.320
 from

00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:28.519
 this

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:28.940
 moment

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:31.019
 first

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.579
 Jesus

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:32.199
 possesses

00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:32.779
 absolute

00:37:32.779 --> 00:37:33.400
 authority

00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:33.820
 over

00:37:33.820 --> 00:37:34.320
 physical

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:35.000
 death

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:36.380
 Lazarus

00:37:36.380 --> 00:37:36.900
 contributes

00:37:36.900 --> 00:37:37.519
 absolutely

00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:38.099
 nothing

00:37:38.099 --> 00:37:38.960
 to his

00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:39.599
 resurrection

00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:40.699
 which is

00:37:40.699 --> 00:37:41.559
 obvious

00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:42.019
 enough

00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:42.679
 once

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:43.400
 we say

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:43.659
 it

00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:44.239
 the

00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:44.779
 theological

00:37:44.779 --> 00:37:45.460
 significance

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:46.360
 is

00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:47.440
 enormous

00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:48.480
 thank you

00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:48.679
 babe

00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:53.019
 if you

00:37:53.019 --> 00:37:53.119
 were

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:53.320
 listening

00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:53.579
 to this

00:37:53.579 --> 00:37:53.920
 recording

00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:54.079
 I

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:54.260
 spilled

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:54.260


00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:54.280
 I spilled

00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:54.280


00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:54.539
 juice

00:37:54.539 --> 00:37:54.960
 all over

00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:55.119
 the

00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:55.559
 stage

00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:57.599
 and

00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:57.740
 now

00:37:57.740 --> 00:37:57.900
 my

00:37:57.900 --> 00:37:58.179
 wife

00:37:58.179 --> 00:37:58.500
 loves

00:37:58.500 --> 00:37:58.619
 me

00:37:58.619 --> 00:37:58.780
 enough

00:37:58.780 --> 00:37:58.900
 to

00:37:58.900 --> 00:37:59.019
 bring

00:37:59.019 --> 00:37:59.119
 me

00:37:59.119 --> 00:37:59.340
 another

00:37:59.340 --> 00:37:59.659
 cup

00:37:59.659 --> 00:38:00.159
 and

00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:00.360
 paper

00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:00.780
 towels

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:02.200
 to

00:38:02.200 --> 00:38:02.480
 mop

00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:02.679
 up

00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:02.940
 my

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.380
 mess

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:04.099
 sorry

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:04.260
 for

00:38:04.260 --> 00:38:04.360
 the

00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:04.800
 distraction

00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:06.460
 in

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.700
 case

00:38:06.700 --> 00:38:06.860
 you

00:38:06.860 --> 00:38:07.200
 thought

00:38:07.200 --> 00:38:08.179
 I

00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:08.320
 was

00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:08.440
 a

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:08.720
 handsome

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:09.200
 robot

00:38:09.200 --> 00:38:12.260
 that's

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:12.360
 an

00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:12.840
 old

00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:13.260
 ongoing

00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:13.700
 joke

00:38:13.700 --> 00:38:15.760
 right

00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:16.380
 Lazarus

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.679
 has done

00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:17.300
 nothing

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:18.080
 to make

00:38:18.080 --> 00:38:18.519
 this

00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:19.860
 possible

00:38:19.860 --> 00:38:21.019
 right

00:38:21.019 --> 00:38:22.320
 Lazarus

00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:22.600
 does not

00:38:22.600 --> 00:38:23.100
 hear the

00:38:23.100 --> 00:38:23.560
 command of

00:38:23.560 --> 00:38:23.860
 Jesus

00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:24.620
 evaluate

00:38:24.620 --> 00:38:25.000
 the

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:25.420
 evidence

00:38:25.420 --> 00:38:25.900
 consider

00:38:25.900 --> 00:38:26.220
 whether

00:38:26.220 --> 00:38:26.400
 the

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:26.860
 resurrection

00:38:26.860 --> 00:38:27.300
 would be

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:27.840
 desirable

00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:28.560
 and then

00:38:28.560 --> 00:38:29.180
 cooperate

00:38:29.180 --> 00:38:30.080
 by summoning

00:38:30.080 --> 00:38:30.320
 enough

00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:30.900
 strength

00:38:30.900 --> 00:38:31.300
 to come

00:38:31.300 --> 00:38:31.640
 back

00:38:31.640 --> 00:38:32.580
 to life

00:38:32.580 --> 00:38:34.240
 he's

00:38:34.240 --> 00:38:34.539
 dead

00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:36.160
 Jesus

00:38:36.160 --> 00:38:36.860
 supplies

00:38:36.860 --> 00:38:38.000
 everything

00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.039
 necessary

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:40.260
 Jesus

00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:40.980
 calls

00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:41.620
 Jesus

00:38:41.620 --> 00:38:42.500
 gives

00:38:42.500 --> 00:38:43.039
 life

00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:44.600
 now we

00:38:44.600 --> 00:38:44.720
 should

00:38:44.720 --> 00:38:45.100
 distinguish

00:38:45.100 --> 00:38:45.680
 carefully

00:38:45.680 --> 00:38:46.019
 between

00:38:46.019 --> 00:38:46.460
 Lazarus

00:38:46.460 --> 00:38:46.940
 resurrection

00:38:46.940 --> 00:38:47.300
 and the

00:38:47.300 --> 00:38:47.679
 resurrection

00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:48.099
 Jesus

00:38:48.099 --> 00:38:48.619
 himself

00:38:48.619 --> 00:38:48.820
 will

00:38:48.820 --> 00:38:49.000
 soon

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:49.539
 experience

00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:49.900
 because

00:38:49.900 --> 00:38:50.539
 Lazarus

00:38:50.539 --> 00:38:51.039
 is

00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:51.440
 restored

00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:51.719
 to

00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:52.460
 ordinary

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:53.199
 mortal

00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:53.599
 life

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:54.179
 and will

00:38:54.179 --> 00:38:54.639
 therefore

00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.820
 die again

00:38:55.820 --> 00:38:56.639
 someday

00:38:56.639 --> 00:38:57.480
 a mortal

00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:58.340
 life

00:38:58.340 --> 00:38:59.780
 he has

00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:00.300
 received an

00:39:00.300 --> 00:39:01.179
 extraordinary

00:39:01.179 --> 00:39:01.820
 restoration

00:39:01.820 --> 00:39:02.460
 but he has

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:03.099
 not yet

00:39:03.099 --> 00:39:03.739
 received the

00:39:03.739 --> 00:39:05.019
 final glorified

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.519
 body

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:06.500
 promised

00:39:06.500 --> 00:39:07.340
 to the

00:39:07.340 --> 00:39:07.759
 people of

00:39:07.759 --> 00:39:08.119
 God

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:09.300
 his

00:39:09.300 --> 00:39:09.800
 resurrection

00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:10.300
 is a

00:39:10.300 --> 00:39:10.920
 sign

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.360
 pointing

00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:11.980
 beyond

00:39:11.980 --> 00:39:12.579
 itself

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:12.920
 towards

00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:13.460
 something

00:39:13.460 --> 00:39:14.420
 greater

00:39:14.420 --> 00:39:15.940
 there is

00:39:15.940 --> 00:39:16.360
 coming a

00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:16.579
 day

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:16.980
 when Jesus

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:17.319
 Christ

00:39:17.319 --> 00:39:17.860
 will speak

00:39:17.860 --> 00:39:18.219
 again

00:39:18.219 --> 00:39:18.920
 and every

00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:19.440
 grave

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:20.099
 will yield

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:20.819
 its dead

00:39:20.819 --> 00:39:22.059
 on that

00:39:22.059 --> 00:39:22.380
 day

00:39:22.380 --> 00:39:23.199
 those who

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:23.639
 belong to

00:39:23.639 --> 00:39:23.940
 Christ

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.319
 will not

00:39:24.319 --> 00:39:25.039
 merely return

00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:25.539
 to another

00:39:25.539 --> 00:39:26.259
 period of

00:39:26.259 --> 00:39:26.599
 mortal

00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:27.099
 existence

00:39:27.099 --> 00:39:27.500
 in which

00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:27.819
 death

00:39:27.819 --> 00:39:28.279
 waits for

00:39:28.279 --> 00:39:28.559
 them

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:29.420
 again

00:39:29.420 --> 00:39:30.519
 the

00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:31.059
 perishable

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:32.099
 will put

00:39:32.099 --> 00:39:32.360
 on the

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.079
 imperishable

00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:34.199
 the

00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:34.559
 mortal

00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:35.019
 will put

00:39:35.019 --> 00:39:35.179
 on

00:39:35.179 --> 00:39:36.059
 immortality

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:36.860
 the

00:39:36.860 --> 00:39:37.299
 bodies

00:39:37.299 --> 00:39:37.539
 of

00:39:37.539 --> 00:39:37.900
 God's

00:39:37.900 --> 00:39:38.259
 people

00:39:38.259 --> 00:39:38.619
 however

00:39:38.619 --> 00:39:39.199
 weak

00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:39.920
 diseased

00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:40.519
 broken

00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:41.340
 aged

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:41.539
 or

00:39:41.539 --> 00:39:42.239
 decayed

00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:44.000
 they may

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:44.139
 have

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:44.599
 become

00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:46.239
 will be

00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:46.759
 raised

00:39:46.759 --> 00:39:47.479
 in

00:39:47.479 --> 00:39:47.879
 glory

00:39:47.879 --> 00:39:49.339
 what

00:39:49.339 --> 00:39:50.299
 hope

00:39:50.299 --> 00:39:50.879
 the

00:39:50.879 --> 00:39:51.339
 Christian

00:39:51.339 --> 00:39:52.559
 has

00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:54.500
 secondly

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:55.019
 Lazarus'

00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:55.500
 resurrection

00:39:55.500 --> 00:39:56.079
 gives us

00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:56.539
 a vivid

00:39:56.539 --> 00:39:57.139
 picture of

00:39:57.139 --> 00:39:57.879
 the sovereign

00:39:57.879 --> 00:39:58.719
 grace of

00:39:58.719 --> 00:39:59.119
 God

00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:00.539
 in salvation

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:02.299
 now we

00:40:02.299 --> 00:40:02.639
 should not

00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:03.259
 turn John

00:40:03.259 --> 00:40:03.819
 11 into

00:40:03.819 --> 00:40:04.639
 an allegory

00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:05.779
 because John

00:40:05.779 --> 00:40:06.419
 is recounting

00:40:06.419 --> 00:40:06.959
 an actual

00:40:06.959 --> 00:40:07.439
 historical

00:40:07.439 --> 00:40:08.059
 event in

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:08.459
 which an

00:40:08.459 --> 00:40:09.199
 actual dead

00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:10.059
 man was

00:40:10.059 --> 00:40:10.399
 physically

00:40:10.399 --> 00:40:11.259
 raised from

00:40:11.259 --> 00:40:11.819
 an actual

00:40:11.820 --> 00:40:12.660
 tomb

00:40:12.660 --> 00:40:14.580
 nevertheless

00:40:14.580 --> 00:40:16.220
 the rest of

00:40:16.220 --> 00:40:16.880
 scripture uses

00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:17.500
 the language

00:40:17.500 --> 00:40:18.180
 of death to

00:40:18.180 --> 00:40:18.760
 describe our

00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:19.720
 spiritual condition

00:40:19.720 --> 00:40:20.160
 apart from

00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:20.700
 Christ and

00:40:20.700 --> 00:40:21.660
 therefore the

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:22.120
 scene before

00:40:22.120 --> 00:40:22.880
 us provides a

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:23.420
 powerful

00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:24.440
 illustration of

00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:25.240
 what divine

00:40:25.240 --> 00:40:26.500
 grace must

00:40:26.500 --> 00:40:27.340
 accomplish if

00:40:27.340 --> 00:40:28.580
 anyone is to

00:40:28.580 --> 00:40:29.180
 be saved

00:40:29.180 --> 00:40:31.640
 Paul I read

00:40:31.640 --> 00:40:32.559
 earlier says

00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:33.420
 in Ephesians 2

00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:33.960
 that we were

00:40:33.960 --> 00:40:34.880
 dead in

00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:35.500
 trespasses

00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:36.980
 and sins

00:40:36.980 --> 00:40:39.039
 that diagnosis

00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:40.039
 is considerably

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:40.780
 more serious

00:40:40.780 --> 00:40:41.340
 than the way

00:40:41.340 --> 00:40:42.039
 human beings

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:43.039
 naturally think

00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:44.320
 about themselves

00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.179
 we tend to

00:40:46.179 --> 00:40:46.760
 imagine that

00:40:46.760 --> 00:40:47.260
 our fundamental

00:40:47.260 --> 00:40:48.199
 problem is

00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:48.920
 lack of

00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:49.480
 information

00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:50.219
 lack of

00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:50.800
 discipline

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:51.780
 bad examples

00:40:51.780 --> 00:40:52.280
 unhealthy

00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:53.019
 environments

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:53.659
 or poor

00:40:53.659 --> 00:40:54.639
 choices

00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:55.300
 and while all

00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:55.599
 of those

00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:56.119
 things may

00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:56.880
 play some

00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:57.519
 role in

00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:57.820
 human

00:40:57.820 --> 00:40:58.639
 behavior

00:40:58.639 --> 00:40:59.940
 scripture reaches

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:00.719
 beneath them

00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:01.400
 to a much

00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:01.960
 deeper

00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:03.179
 reality

00:41:03.179 --> 00:41:04.659
 apart from

00:41:04.659 --> 00:41:05.119
 Christ

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.019
 we are

00:41:06.019 --> 00:41:06.480
 spiritually

00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:07.299
 dead

00:41:07.299 --> 00:41:08.339
 and dead

00:41:08.339 --> 00:41:09.059
 people do

00:41:09.059 --> 00:41:09.719
 not need

00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:10.419
 advice

00:41:10.419 --> 00:41:12.099
 they need

00:41:12.099 --> 00:41:13.119
 life

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.000
 that is why

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:15.739
 salvation must

00:41:15.739 --> 00:41:16.359
 be a work of

00:41:16.359 --> 00:41:17.119
 sovereign grace

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:17.819
 from beginning

00:41:17.819 --> 00:41:18.819
 to end

00:41:18.819 --> 00:41:20.099
 the doctrine

00:41:20.099 --> 00:41:20.579
 of regeneration

00:41:20.579 --> 00:41:21.339
 is not some

00:41:21.339 --> 00:41:22.419
 cold theological

00:41:22.419 --> 00:41:23.659
 abstraction best

00:41:23.659 --> 00:41:24.460
 left to seminary

00:41:24.460 --> 00:41:25.000
 classrooms

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.539
 it is tremendously

00:41:26.539 --> 00:41:27.719
 hopeful

00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:29.599
 it means the

00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:30.319
 salvation of

00:41:30.319 --> 00:41:31.099
 those you love

00:41:31.099 --> 00:41:31.419
 does not

00:41:31.419 --> 00:41:32.279
 finally depend

00:41:32.279 --> 00:41:32.960
 upon your

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.900
 ability to

00:41:33.900 --> 00:41:34.559
 persuade them

00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:36.280
 you should

00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:36.679
 speak

00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:37.740
 clearly

00:41:37.740 --> 00:41:39.099
 you should

00:41:39.099 --> 00:41:39.480
 answer

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:40.300
 objections

00:41:40.300 --> 00:41:41.220
 thoughtfully

00:41:41.220 --> 00:41:42.380
 you should

00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:42.960
 live

00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:44.159
 faithfully

00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:45.019
 you should

00:41:45.019 --> 00:41:45.420
 pray

00:41:45.420 --> 00:41:46.519
 persistently

00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:47.440
 but in the

00:41:47.440 --> 00:41:47.900
 end

00:41:47.900 --> 00:41:48.720
 salvation

00:41:48.720 --> 00:41:49.740
 belongs

00:41:49.740 --> 00:41:51.179
 to God

00:41:51.179 --> 00:41:52.820
 look at

00:41:52.820 --> 00:41:53.360
 Lazarus's

00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:53.740
 tomb

00:41:53.740 --> 00:41:55.260
 the deadness

00:41:55.260 --> 00:41:55.760
 of Lazarus

00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:56.099
 did not

00:41:56.099 --> 00:41:56.679
 exceed the

00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:57.079
 power of

00:41:57.079 --> 00:41:57.480
 Christ

00:41:57.480 --> 00:41:58.519
 and the

00:41:58.519 --> 00:41:58.820
 spiritual

00:41:58.820 --> 00:41:59.240
 deadness

00:41:59.240 --> 00:41:59.519
 of the

00:41:59.519 --> 00:41:59.720
 sinner

00:41:59.720 --> 00:42:00.220
 you love

00:42:00.220 --> 00:42:00.900
 does not

00:42:00.900 --> 00:42:01.340
 exceed

00:42:01.340 --> 00:42:01.960
 his power

00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:02.599
 either

00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:04.960
 we cannot

00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:06.380
 raise the

00:42:06.380 --> 00:42:06.719
 dead

00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:08.219
 but Christ

00:42:08.219 --> 00:42:08.679
 can

00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:10.639
 so preach

00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:11.239
 the gospel

00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:12.519
 pray

00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:13.539
 love

00:42:13.539 --> 00:42:14.099
 patiently

00:42:14.099 --> 00:42:14.759
 speak

00:42:14.759 --> 00:42:15.599
 truth

00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:17.059
 and do not

00:42:17.059 --> 00:42:17.619
 confuse

00:42:17.619 --> 00:42:18.619
 the apparent

00:42:18.619 --> 00:42:19.099
 hardness

00:42:19.099 --> 00:42:19.599
 of the

00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:19.880
 sinner

00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:20.199
 with

00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:20.960
 weakness

00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:22.159
 in the

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:22.460
 Savior

00:42:22.460 --> 00:42:24.799
 third

00:42:24.799 --> 00:42:26.199
 Lazarus's

00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:26.579
 resurrection

00:42:26.579 --> 00:42:27.319
 points us

00:42:27.319 --> 00:42:28.099
 forward to

00:42:28.099 --> 00:42:28.779
 the resurrection

00:42:28.780 --> 00:42:30.320
 of Jesus

00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.120
 look carefully

00:42:32.120 --> 00:42:32.660
 again

00:42:32.660 --> 00:42:33.320
 at verse

00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:34.000
 44

00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:35.040
 the man

00:42:35.040 --> 00:42:35.660
 who died

00:42:35.660 --> 00:42:36.180
 came out

00:42:36.180 --> 00:42:36.840
 his hands

00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:37.320
 and feet

00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:38.100
 bound with

00:42:38.100 --> 00:42:38.780
 linen strips

00:42:38.780 --> 00:42:40.120
 and his face

00:42:40.120 --> 00:42:40.800
 wrapped

00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:41.720
 with a

00:42:41.720 --> 00:42:42.120
 cloth

00:42:42.120 --> 00:42:43.840
 Lazarus

00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:44.580
 comes out

00:42:44.580 --> 00:42:44.880
 of the

00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:45.260
 tomb

00:42:45.260 --> 00:42:46.080
 still

00:42:46.080 --> 00:42:46.940
 dressed

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:47.860
 for burial

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:49.460
 his body

00:42:49.460 --> 00:42:50.039
 is alive

00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:50.380
 but the

00:42:50.380 --> 00:42:51.079
 signs of

00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:51.320
 death

00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:51.660
 remain

00:42:51.660 --> 00:42:52.019
 wrapped

00:42:52.019 --> 00:42:52.440
 around

00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:52.720
 him

00:42:52.720 --> 00:42:53.019
 and so

00:42:53.019 --> 00:42:53.300
 Jesus

00:42:53.300 --> 00:42:53.940
 commands

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:54.500
 unbind

00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:54.760
 him

00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:55.840
 and let

00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:56.000
 him

00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:56.420
 go

00:42:56.420 --> 00:42:58.420
 hold that

00:42:58.420 --> 00:42:59.220
 image

00:42:59.220 --> 00:42:59.559
 in your

00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:00.160
 mind

00:43:00.160 --> 00:43:01.260
 because

00:43:01.260 --> 00:43:01.620
 John is

00:43:01.620 --> 00:43:01.860
 going to

00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:02.200
 take us

00:43:02.200 --> 00:43:02.599
 eventually

00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:03.120
 to another

00:43:03.120 --> 00:43:03.559
 tomb

00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:04.599
 there will

00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:05.039
 be another

00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:05.820
 stone

00:43:05.820 --> 00:43:06.620
 there will

00:43:06.620 --> 00:43:07.320
 be more

00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:07.900
 linen

00:43:07.900 --> 00:43:09.260
 cloths

00:43:09.260 --> 00:43:10.039
 there will

00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:11.019
 be another

00:43:11.019 --> 00:43:12.200
 face

00:43:12.200 --> 00:43:12.640
 cloth

00:43:12.640 --> 00:43:14.300
 but when

00:43:14.300 --> 00:43:14.800
 Peter and

00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:15.140
 John

00:43:15.140 --> 00:43:15.700
 enter Jesus

00:43:15.700 --> 00:43:16.200
 tomb

00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:16.819
 on resurrection

00:43:16.819 --> 00:43:17.399
 morning

00:43:17.399 --> 00:43:18.339
 they will

00:43:18.339 --> 00:43:19.199
 not find

00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:19.659
 Jesus

00:43:19.659 --> 00:43:20.299
 stumbling

00:43:20.299 --> 00:43:20.819
 toward the

00:43:20.819 --> 00:43:21.239
 entrance

00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:21.639
 still

00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:22.079
 wrapped

00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:22.639
 in burial

00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:23.199
 garments

00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:24.099
 needing

00:43:24.099 --> 00:43:24.739
 someone

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:25.339
 else

00:43:25.339 --> 00:43:26.099
 to untie

00:43:26.099 --> 00:43:26.419
 him

00:43:26.419 --> 00:43:27.719
 they will

00:43:27.719 --> 00:43:28.199
 find

00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:28.379
 the

00:43:28.379 --> 00:43:28.539
 linen

00:43:28.539 --> 00:43:29.219
 cloths

00:43:29.219 --> 00:43:29.759
 lying

00:43:29.759 --> 00:43:30.139
 there

00:43:30.139 --> 00:43:30.539
 and the

00:43:30.539 --> 00:43:30.899
 face

00:43:30.899 --> 00:43:31.379
 cloth

00:43:31.379 --> 00:43:31.960
 folded

00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:33.259
 separately

00:43:33.259 --> 00:43:34.179
 the

00:43:34.179 --> 00:43:34.799
 distinction

00:43:34.799 --> 00:43:35.639
 is

00:43:35.639 --> 00:43:36.319
 theologically

00:43:36.319 --> 00:43:37.439
 significant

00:43:37.439 --> 00:43:39.500
 Lazarus

00:43:39.500 --> 00:43:39.739
 has been

00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:40.099
 restored

00:43:40.099 --> 00:43:40.519
 to mortal

00:43:40.519 --> 00:43:41.019
 life

00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:42.319
 Jesus

00:43:42.319 --> 00:43:43.039
 rises

00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:43.460
 as the

00:43:43.460 --> 00:43:43.960
 victorious

00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:44.619
 beginning

00:43:44.619 --> 00:43:45.239
 of the

00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:45.579
 new

00:43:45.579 --> 00:43:46.340
 creation

00:43:46.340 --> 00:43:48.119
 Lazarus

00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:48.539
 will die

00:43:48.539 --> 00:43:49.139
 again

00:43:49.139 --> 00:43:49.920
 Jesus

00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:50.639
 rises

00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:51.420
 never

00:43:51.420 --> 00:43:52.019
 to die

00:43:52.019 --> 00:43:52.460
 again

00:43:52.460 --> 00:43:53.819
 Lazarus

00:43:53.819 --> 00:43:54.380
 resurrection

00:43:54.380 --> 00:43:55.039
 is a

00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:55.679
 sign

00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.659
 Jesus

00:43:56.659 --> 00:43:57.299
 resurrection

00:43:57.299 --> 00:43:58.179
 is

00:43:58.179 --> 00:43:59.079
 the

00:43:59.079 --> 00:43:59.619
 victory

00:43:59.619 --> 00:44:01.779
 so

00:44:01.779 --> 00:44:02.059
 Jesus

00:44:02.059 --> 00:44:02.579
 confronts

00:44:02.579 --> 00:44:02.880
 death

00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:03.360
 calls

00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:03.559
 us

00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:03.860
 to see

00:44:03.860 --> 00:44:04.000
 his

00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:04.319
 glory

00:44:04.319 --> 00:44:05.119
 communes

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:05.259
 with

00:44:05.259 --> 00:44:05.420
 the

00:44:05.420 --> 00:44:05.739
 father

00:44:05.739 --> 00:44:06.619
 commands

00:44:06.619 --> 00:44:07.739
 the

00:44:07.739 --> 00:44:08.139
 dead

00:44:08.139 --> 00:44:08.900
 to

00:44:08.900 --> 00:44:09.380
 live

00:44:09.380 --> 00:44:11.000
 had

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:11.119
 you

00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:11.380
 stopped

00:44:11.380 --> 00:44:11.539
 the

00:44:11.539 --> 00:44:11.759
 story

00:44:11.759 --> 00:44:11.900
 at

00:44:11.900 --> 00:44:12.119
 almost

00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:12.539
 any

00:44:12.539 --> 00:44:12.860
 point

00:44:12.860 --> 00:44:13.119
 before

00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:13.440
 verse

00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:14.039
 43

00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:14.440
 and

00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:14.739
 attempted

00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:14.980
 to

00:44:14.980 --> 00:44:15.619
 evaluate

00:44:15.619 --> 00:44:16.019
 the

00:44:16.019 --> 00:44:16.619
 faithfulness

00:44:16.619 --> 00:44:16.779
 of

00:44:16.779 --> 00:44:17.139
 Christ

00:44:17.139 --> 00:44:17.599
 merely

00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:17.980
 by the

00:44:17.980 --> 00:44:18.239
 visible

00:44:18.239 --> 00:44:18.980
 circumstances

00:44:18.980 --> 00:44:19.800
 you

00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:20.039
 might

00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:20.179
 have

00:44:20.179 --> 00:44:20.639
 concluded

00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:20.880
 that

00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:21.239
 something

00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:21.460
 had

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:21.659
 gone

00:44:21.659 --> 00:44:22.219
 terribly

00:44:22.219 --> 00:44:23.420
 wrong

00:44:23.420 --> 00:44:24.420
 but

00:44:24.420 --> 00:44:24.960
 nothing

00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:25.900
 went

00:44:25.900 --> 00:44:26.300
 wrong

00:44:26.300 --> 00:44:26.980
 Jesus

00:44:26.980 --> 00:44:27.320
 knew

00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:28.079
 precisely

00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:29.279
 what

00:44:29.279 --> 00:44:29.380
 he

00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:29.519
 was

00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:29.880
 doing

00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.099
 the

00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:31.500
 delay

00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:31.739
 had

00:44:31.739 --> 00:44:31.860
 a

00:44:31.860 --> 00:44:32.159
 purpose

00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:32.579
 the

00:44:32.579 --> 00:44:33.019
 journey

00:44:33.019 --> 00:44:33.239
 had

00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:33.380
 a

00:44:33.380 --> 00:44:33.679
 purpose

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:34.239
 the

00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:34.800
 tears

00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:35.019
 had

00:44:35.019 --> 00:44:35.179
 a

00:44:35.179 --> 00:44:35.500
 purpose

00:44:35.500 --> 00:44:35.800
 the

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:36.380
 tomb

00:44:36.380 --> 00:44:37.420
 itself

00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:38.559
 had

00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:38.679
 a

00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:39.079
 purpose

00:44:39.079 --> 00:44:40.059
 and

00:44:40.059 --> 00:44:40.199
 through

00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:40.440
 all

00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:40.579
 of

00:44:40.579 --> 00:44:40.699
 it

00:44:40.699 --> 00:44:40.960
 Christ

00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:41.139
 was

00:44:41.139 --> 00:44:41.480
 moving

00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:41.840
 toward

00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:42.000
 the

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:42.440
 revelation

00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:42.679
 of

00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:42.820
 his

00:44:42.820 --> 00:44:43.259
 glory

00:44:43.260 --> 00:44:44.500
 some

00:44:44.500 --> 00:44:44.620
 of

00:44:44.620 --> 00:44:44.720
 you

00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:44.860
 may

00:44:44.860 --> 00:44:45.280
 presently

00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:45.420
 be

00:44:45.420 --> 00:44:45.760
 living

00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:47.260
 somewhere

00:44:47.260 --> 00:44:47.580
 in the

00:44:47.580 --> 00:44:47.780
 middle

00:44:47.780 --> 00:44:48.040
 of a

00:44:48.040 --> 00:44:48.340
 story

00:44:48.340 --> 00:44:48.540
 whose

00:44:48.540 --> 00:44:49.140
 conclusion

00:44:49.140 --> 00:44:49.860
 you

00:44:49.860 --> 00:44:50.180
 cannot

00:44:50.180 --> 00:44:50.540
 see

00:44:50.540 --> 00:44:51.960
 you

00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:52.260
 know

00:44:52.260 --> 00:44:52.460
 that

00:44:52.460 --> 00:44:52.740
 Christ

00:44:52.740 --> 00:44:53.060
 loves

00:44:53.060 --> 00:44:53.160
 you

00:44:53.160 --> 00:44:53.320
 but

00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:53.460
 you

00:44:53.460 --> 00:44:53.820
 cannot

00:44:53.820 --> 00:44:54.420
 reconcile

00:44:54.420 --> 00:44:54.960
 that

00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:55.380
 love

00:44:55.380 --> 00:44:55.560
 with

00:44:55.560 --> 00:44:55.800
 what

00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:56.080
 he

00:44:56.080 --> 00:44:56.580
 has

00:44:56.580 --> 00:44:57.120
 allowed

00:44:57.120 --> 00:44:58.480
 you

00:44:58.480 --> 00:44:58.640
 have

00:44:58.640 --> 00:44:59.140
 prayed

00:44:59.140 --> 00:44:59.900
 and

00:44:59.900 --> 00:45:00.020
 the

00:45:00.020 --> 00:45:00.240
 answer

00:45:00.240 --> 00:45:00.360
 has

00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:00.500
 been

00:45:00.500 --> 00:45:00.860
 delayed

00:45:00.860 --> 00:45:02.080
 you

00:45:02.080 --> 00:45:02.800
 believe

00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:03.700
 but

00:45:03.700 --> 00:45:03.800
 you

00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:03.920
 are

00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:04.340
 grieving

00:45:04.340 --> 00:45:05.620
 you

00:45:05.620 --> 00:45:06.100
 trust

00:45:06.100 --> 00:45:06.300
 him

00:45:06.300 --> 00:45:06.600
 you

00:45:06.600 --> 00:45:06.980
 cannot

00:45:06.980 --> 00:45:07.580
 imagine

00:45:07.580 --> 00:45:07.800
 how

00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:07.980
 the

00:45:07.980 --> 00:45:08.600
 circumstances

00:45:08.600 --> 00:45:09.260
 presently

00:45:09.260 --> 00:45:09.420
 in

00:45:09.420 --> 00:45:09.600
 front

00:45:09.600 --> 00:45:09.720
 of

00:45:09.720 --> 00:45:09.780
 you

00:45:09.780 --> 00:45:09.940
 could

00:45:09.940 --> 00:45:10.420
 possibly

00:45:10.420 --> 00:45:10.840
 serve

00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:11.180
 any

00:45:11.180 --> 00:45:11.460
 good

00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:12.000
 purpose

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.099
 I

00:45:14.099 --> 00:45:14.380
 cannot

00:45:14.380 --> 00:45:14.960
 promise

00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:15.260
 you

00:45:15.260 --> 00:45:15.639
 that

00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:16.039
 every

00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:16.500
 grave

00:45:16.500 --> 00:45:16.679
 you

00:45:16.679 --> 00:45:16.900
 stand

00:45:16.900 --> 00:45:17.300
 beside

00:45:17.300 --> 00:45:17.519
 will

00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:17.940
 open

00:45:17.940 --> 00:45:18.280
 in

00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:18.599
 this

00:45:18.599 --> 00:45:19.179
 life

00:45:19.179 --> 00:45:20.579
 John 11

00:45:20.579 --> 00:45:21.199
 does not

00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:21.739
 give us

00:45:21.739 --> 00:45:22.519
 space

00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:23.000
 for that

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:23.239
 kind

00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:23.380
 of

00:45:23.380 --> 00:45:23.940
 promise

00:45:23.940 --> 00:45:25.840
 Lazarus

00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:26.460
 resurrection

00:45:26.460 --> 00:45:26.960
 is a

00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:27.480
 sign

00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:28.240
 not a

00:45:28.240 --> 00:45:28.619
 guarantee

00:45:28.619 --> 00:45:29.099
 that

00:45:29.099 --> 00:45:29.320
 every

00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:29.900
 tragedy

00:45:29.900 --> 00:45:30.320
 will be

00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:30.900
 reversed

00:45:30.900 --> 00:45:31.320
 according

00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:31.559
 to

00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:32.059
 our

00:45:32.059 --> 00:45:33.240
 preferred

00:45:33.240 --> 00:45:34.420
 timetable

00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:35.740
 but

00:45:35.740 --> 00:45:35.940
 the

00:45:35.940 --> 00:45:36.519
 sign

00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:37.079
 points

00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:37.240
 to

00:45:37.240 --> 00:45:37.599
 something

00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:38.300
 far

00:45:38.300 --> 00:45:38.740
 greater

00:45:38.740 --> 00:45:39.320
 and

00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:39.860
 far

00:45:39.860 --> 00:45:40.360
 more

00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:41.260
 certain

00:45:41.260 --> 00:45:42.639
 resurrection

00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:43.780
 is

00:45:43.780 --> 00:45:44.940
 coming

00:45:44.940 --> 00:45:46.840
 if you

00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:47.260
 belong to

00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:47.500
 Jesus

00:45:47.500 --> 00:45:47.960
 Christ

00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:48.380
 there is

00:45:48.380 --> 00:45:48.980
 no sorrow

00:45:48.980 --> 00:45:49.320
 in your

00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:49.740
 life

00:45:49.740 --> 00:45:50.579
 which can

00:45:50.579 --> 00:45:51.159
 overturn

00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:51.880
 his purposes

00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:52.500
 for you

00:45:52.500 --> 00:45:54.119
 no loss

00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:54.440
 which can

00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:55.019
 separate you

00:45:55.019 --> 00:45:55.400
 from his

00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:55.780
 love

00:45:55.780 --> 00:45:56.360
 no enemy

00:45:56.360 --> 00:45:56.900
 capable

00:45:56.900 --> 00:45:57.639
 of surviving

00:45:57.639 --> 00:45:58.579
 his

00:45:58.579 --> 00:45:59.159
 kingdom

00:45:59.159 --> 00:45:59.820
 and no

00:45:59.820 --> 00:46:00.300
 grave

00:46:00.300 --> 00:46:00.820
 capable

00:46:00.820 --> 00:46:01.380
 of holding

00:46:01.380 --> 00:46:01.679
 you

00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:02.119
 when he

00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:02.659
 commands

00:46:02.659 --> 00:46:03.000
 you

00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:03.980
 to

00:46:03.980 --> 00:46:04.440
 rise

00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:06.179
 there is

00:46:06.179 --> 00:46:06.559
 coming a

00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:06.920
 day when

00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:07.320
 the voice

00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:07.619
 heard

00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:08.139
 outside

00:46:08.139 --> 00:46:08.699
 Lazarus

00:46:08.699 --> 00:46:09.159
 tomb

00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:09.380
 will

00:46:09.380 --> 00:46:09.960
 sound

00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:10.599
 again

00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:12.340
 only on

00:46:12.340 --> 00:46:12.840
 that day

00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:13.199
 there will

00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:13.579
 be no

00:46:13.579 --> 00:46:14.199
 temporary

00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:14.739
 restoration

00:46:14.739 --> 00:46:15.360
 to a

00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:15.619
 mortal

00:46:15.619 --> 00:46:15.960
 life

00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:16.099
 that

00:46:16.099 --> 00:46:16.420
 eventually

00:46:16.420 --> 00:46:16.760
 ends

00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:16.900
 in

00:46:16.900 --> 00:46:17.239
 another

00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:18.059
 funeral

00:46:18.059 --> 00:46:19.559
 there will

00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:19.679
 be

00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:20.219
 resurrection

00:46:22.219 --> 00:46:23.340
 Jesus

00:46:23.340 --> 00:46:24.139
 is

00:46:24.139 --> 00:46:24.380
 the

00:46:24.380 --> 00:46:24.860
 resurrection

00:46:24.860 --> 00:46:26.239
 and

00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:26.400
 the

00:46:33.820 --> 00:46:34.360
 on

00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:34.659
 and

00:46:34.659 --> 00:46:35.440
 expect

00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:36.219

 God

00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:38.960
 let's

00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:39.139
