Passage: John
Summary
We're celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The good news is every single one of us is going to die someday, and the reason that is good news is the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us hope that one day we will beat death. Even though we die, we are going to live, all because Jesus Christ has risen and conquered the grave. Because he conquered death, so shall we.
Sermon Questions
- Have you ever felt like Jesus didn’t show up when you needed Him most? How do you typically respond to divine delays or unanswered prayers? What does this story teach us about God’s timing versus our expectations?
- What “dead” areas in your life need to hear Jesus’ voice today?
- Do you believe Jesus still has the power to call things back to life—dreams, relationships, your spiritual passion?
- After resurrection comes freedom—what are some things that still bind you even after God has moved?
- How can the community (church, friends, family) help “unwrap” people walking into new life?
