Message by Larry Thacker Jr. from March 24: Living Dead
This message was delivered as part of a service dedicated to the memory of two recently departed church members. John Beaty and Lisa Garza. I spoke from John 11:25-26. We’re dropping in on a conversation that Jesus is having with Martha, the sister of Lazarus. In this case, Jesus is about to raise Lazarus from the dead, but He makes a statement here that communicates the greater truth that this miracle will demonstrate. He says, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.”
What an incredible statement! It seems to contradict itself. In the first phrase He says we’ll die, yet we will live. In the second phrase He says we’ll never die if we live and believe in Him. Listen as we unpack this. It will be a blessing and a comfort.
