Title: Lazarus, Rise Up! (John 11:33-44)
Content 1. Living again is not that important in itself.
-Lazarus did not seem to have taken a more precious and important life.
-When the Lord was crucified, I couldn't even say that I was the one who raised me from the dead. He could not bear the cross instead.
2. The resurrection of Jesus is important.
-Perhaps all miracles are just small shadows and symbols of Jesus' being the Son of God and his resurrection.
Verse 33/Jesus is filled with wrath The wrath a state of wrath and sorrow combined, verse 35/Jesus weeps to empathize with their grieving hearts.
Romans 12 Weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice.
Jesus, the comforter who sympathizes with you - How grateful it is (Example) Blind mother and blind daughter - Hanheum Ok (God standing outside the door)
<Jesus the True Comforter>
1. Jesus who empathizes
2. Principle of comfort 'If you believe, you will see!! Verse 40/If you believe, you will see the glory of God!-The world says that when you see, you believe. But if you believe, you will see.
(Example) Israel - Faith -> Seeing Canaan Abraham - Faith -> Seeing children Comfort - When things are done, you will be comforted.
However, what is really important is to achieve glory.
If there is the glory of God, it is comforting.
3. Believe, but you must believe completely.
I didn't believe it half-heartedly.
How to fully believe - you have to believe like an encounter with a living person.
It is not conceptual or formal. - It is a form of prayer. Verse 41 - Jesus lifted up his eyes and looked up and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me.
Why is the martyr's faith strong because he firmly believes in what will happen after death.
That's what our beliefs should be.
<Tears and sighs of pain> A gas explosion in Mexico kills more than 200 people all over the world Starving people everywhere have been beaten by billions of bullets on TV. People, those who weep because of parting with their loved ones, and those who weep because their wishes do not go their way.
Those who boasted of their strength unexpectedly lost their health and were lying on the hospital bed, pleading for healing with tears.
As Lazarus died, those who suffer in the face of incurable death and the like! There are things that will come true if you sweat, shed tears, and vomit blood. It is the problem of death that cannot be solved by spilling it.
