I was Sorrowful
from BridgePointe Sermons
John's Gospel tells very personal stories of people who were changed when they met Jesus. These men and women came from very different backgrounds but were all changed in powerful ways when they met Jesus. Every disciple has uniquely encountered Jesus and been changed by Him. Every disciple has a story to tell. Jesus has a special relationship with the family of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. He learns that Lazarus is sick. From Jesus' perspective, there's no reason to hurry or worry. But from the sisters' perspective, there is great reason for fear and grief. Each sister comes out to Jesus in their grief, and Jesus responds differently to each sister according to what He knows she needs. Their grief becomes an opportunity for them to encounter Jesus in a powerful way. This message teaches that overwhelming grief that finds comfort in Jesus changes a life forever. Reflection questions: When have you experienced sorrow and grief in your life? How did God work to bring you closer to Him through that?
