Thank you for joining us in worship today! This week we are jumping back into our series on the Gospel of John. We begin looking at chapter 11 and the story of the death of Lazarus - the one whom Jesus loved. We're challenged to understand that God is working and has everything under control even when things don't seem to be working out the way we want it to. We know this because Jesus loves us.

John 11:1-16
The Death of Lazarus
[1] Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. [2] (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) [3] So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
[4] When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” [5] Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. [6] So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, [7] and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”
[8] “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”
[9] Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they see by this world’s light. [10] It is when a person walks at night that they stumble, for they have no light.”
[11] After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
[12] His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” [13] Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
[14] So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, [15] and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
[16] Then Thomas (also known as Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
