Introduction
This morning we conclude our series influenced by Mark Batterson’s book The Grave Robber: How Jesus Can Make Your Impossible Possible.
Through this series we have looked at the seven miracles listed in John’s gospel.
Hands down, the greatest miracle is the forgiveness of sins made possible by the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There is no close second.
It is the foundation of all other miracles!
At some point in our life we will all need a miracle.
We don’t welcome the circumstances that necessitate a miracle, but non the less we need one.
As we learned through this study, there is nothing too small or insignificant and nothing too big for God.
Example: The wedding in Cana vs.
The resurrection of Lazarus
“Don’t seek miracles.
Follow Jesus.
And if you follow Jesus long enough and far enough, you’ll eventually find yourself in the middle of some miracles.”
Mark Batterson
Follow Jesus.
And if you follow Jesus long enough and far enough, you’ll eventually find yourself in the middle of some miracles.”

Resurrection miracle occurs 3x’s in Jesus ministry.
Jarius’ daughter, Jesus interrupts a funeral procession of the only son of a widow ()
Jesus loves this family.
Possibly stayed with this family when he was in Jerusalem.
(only a 2 mile trip)
This story causes us to wonder “does God care?”
Mary & Martha’s mind is put to ease
Why if he cares doesn’t he come?
If you care, why don’t you come through?
“We have an opportunity to do something and we don’t wan to miss it.”
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY!
Sleep - (euphemism) (a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt)
Jehovah Witnesses - soul sleep (soul annihilated) Only lives on in the memory of God and recreated after the final resurrection
Seventh Day Adventists - soul remains in an unconscious state until the resurrection
The Bible - We are created to live eternally
John 11:14
John 11:18-
Probably well connected and well off
Talmud - If you were poor required to hire musicians & wailers
Example of Job and his friends who sat with him for days
John 11:
Everyone grieves differently
Everyone grieves differently
“Jesus, where were you?
Why didn’t you come?”
Martha collects herself but misunderstands what Jesus is doing.
We can’t understand all of God’s ways
The resurrection is not so much an event as it is a person.
If we are in Christ, and He is resurrected, then we are resurrected as well.
We sometimes think that God is detached from our problems and seems to not care
- God is close to the brokenhearted
“deeply moved” = “troubled” - angered or agitated = sin and it’s affects
Hebrews 4:
Death is not right!
Death is our enemy = it was never intended that way.
God is indignant about it, but He also has redeemed it!
“Jesus wept” = silently burst into tears (if you hurt today, He hurts with you …)
Jesus gets indignant again, this time with unbelief / mocker
John 11:40
1 Thessalonians 4:
Many?
Why doesn’t it say ALL!!
It reminds me of the person who would say “If I could see this, then maybe...”
Seeing is not believing, Believing is Seeing!
Even when you cannot understand God, you can trust Him
Even though God knows the outcome, He is not indifferent to our pain
Even when it seems all hope is gone, God can work a miracle
Eternal life is found only in Him
