Easter: Come Alive

What if Easter isn’t just about something that happened to Jesus—but something He wants to do in you?

In this powerful Easter message from John 11:17–44, we explore one of the most emotionally gripping moments in Scripture: the raising of Lazarus from the dead. More than a miraculous event, this story is a profound revelation of who Jesus is—the Resurrection and the Life. When Jesus calls Lazarus out of the tomb, He reveals that He doesn’t simply bring life; He is life.

Whether you’re feeling the weight of grief, disappointment, unanswered prayers, or spiritual numbness, Jesus meets you there. He’s not afraid of your sorrow or your questions. He weeps with you. He walks with you. And He calls you by name.

This Easter, we invite you to encounter the resurrected Jesus who doesn’t just make bad people good—He makes dead people live. No matter how broken or buried your past may feel, nothing is beyond the reach of His resurrection power.

Come alive—today.
