Lazarus: Back By Popular Demand | Pastor Jeff Bucknam

There was a season of my life when I lived above a morgue. Late-night garage doors rolling open below my floor. Embalming. Makeup on someone who'd never wear it again. Before that, death was something that happened to other people. Most of us keep it that way — we make the dead look alive, we keep the kids away from funerals. But death doesn't stay at arm's length forever. Eventually you're the one sitting alone next to a body you love. And when that day comes, you want more than a philosophy. You want an answer. Every religion has tried to give one. Enough good lives and maybe you dissolve into eternity. Enough good works and maybe the scale tips your way. Or — just take what you can get, because after this, nothing. Jesus gives a different answer. And he gives it outside a tomb that's already started to smell. In John 11, Lazarus has been dead four days when Jesus finally shows up. What happens next shows us three things: death is overwhelming, Jesus feels it too, and Jesus overwhelms death anyway. Pastor Jeff Bucknam brings us "Lazarus: Back By Popular Demand," from John 11:17–44. Let's get into it.
