Unbound from Death, John 11:1-44

Jesus is able to raise Lazarus from the dead because he is the Resurrection and the Life. What does that mean for us today? Jesus being the resurrection and the life means that we are unbound from sin because death is the result of sin.

The Word of God, Faith, Life, and Death, Luke 16:19-31

How powerful is the Word of God? In the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, we learn that if the rich man had but heeded what was in the Law and the Prophets, he would have been at Abraham’s side with Lazarus. Instead, he was focused on himself and ignoring the Word of God.
