Hi, my name is Pete Scuzera. I want to welcome you today to the Emotionally Healthy Leader

podcast. And today I'm going to invite you to listen to a message on trusting in the wonder of

resurrection from John Chapter 11. So in this season of your life, let me ask you, what is the greatest obstacle you're facing?

For Jesus says to you and says to me, did I not tell you that if you trust, often translate it

if you believe, but if you are trusting, will you not see the glory of God? In other words, he says,

trust me and you'll see the wonder of resurrection. You'll see the power of God.

And the whole theme of the gospel of John is just

trusting Jesus over and over again. It's about trusting, or often translated, believing. It's a

present tense trusting. And the context here in John 11 is Lazarus has died, has been dead for

four days. And, you know, it's interesting because four days was considered, you're dead, dead.

You're like super dead.

I mean, you smell at that point.

There is no hope the rabbi said of any resurrection at that point.

And Jesus shows up and he invites Mary and Martha to trust him.

And he speaks to us.

And because Lazar is a picture of what happens to all of us,

you know, and he's dead, and Jesus speaks and calls him out. And every time a person comes to

faith in Jesus, there's a born again, there's a spiritual life, you know, speaks your name,

come out, and how do you come to Christ? It's all the resurrection. It's incredible.

And Lazarus is in the grave, utterly hopeless and dead.

He couldn't raise himself. Jesus does that.

But then Lazarus has to let some people take off his grave clothes, right?
