In our Feast series, Come and See, about the Gospel of John, we went through the six signs of Jesus.

The first six signs are:

Sign 1: Turning water into wine at Cana  (2:1-12)

Sign 2: Healing of the official’s son in Cana (4:46-54)

Sign 3: Healing the paralyzed man in Bethesda (5:1-9)

Sign 4: Feeding the 5000 in Galilee (6:1-15)

Sign 5: Healing of the blind man  (9:1-7)

Sign 6: Raising of Lazarus in Bethany  (11:1-44)

All six signs are pointing to the seventh sign—the greatest miracle:

The Resurrection of Jesus.

Talk 7 recounts the death of Lazarus, Jesus weeping over losing this friend whom He loved, even as He knew Lazarus would live again because the Lord Himself would raise Lazarus from death.

Jesus Himself dies on the Cross but He lives again– forever.

When we die, we too will live again. Jesus knows this– but just as He wept for Lazarus, He grieves as He feels the pain of our death– and actually, our other sufferings in our earthly life.

The One big message of Talk 7: Jesus is your Resurrection.
