The Resurrection Life Part 3 - John 11:43-57

Jesus makes shocking claims about Himself—Savior, Son of God, equal with the Father, giver of life—and validates them through His works. In John 11, the resurrection is not merely an event but a Person: Jesus Christ. At the tomb He speaks God’s Word with authority—“Lazarus, come out”—showing that life comes by His command and by the Gospel proclaimed. Yet Lazarus emerges still wrapped in grave clothes, picturing believers saved but still bound to the old man. Jesus calls the community to “unbind him,” highlighting lifelong discipleship. Finally, resurrection life must endure hostility and suffering until the end.
