FAMILY THEME: THE COMPASSIONATE SAVIOR

John 11:1-44

Where is Jesus when we are suffering? Does He care? Why

doesn't He answer in the time we think He should? John 11

gives us some insight into these questions.

1.  Christ Waited to Raise Lazarus So His Disciples Might Believe

     (John 11:1-16)

     When Jesus heard Lazarus was sick He did an unusual thing-

     He waited two days.

 
2.  Christ Preached His Own Resurrection So His Followers Might Believe

     (John 11:17-29)

     Christ wanted Martha to understand that He is the Son of God

     and that resurrection and eternal life are in and through Him.

 
3.  Jesus Cared About People's Pain So They Might Believe

     (John 11:30-44)

     Jesus cared deeply about the brokenness and pain that sin has

     brought into the world.
