ATEAM PICTURE
In 1972 , a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… the A-Team

JOHN 11: 1-3
- 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.
LAZARUS NAME MEANS “GOD HAS HELPED”
JOHN 11:4-5
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.

TWO DAYS
- HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED TWO DAYS?

__________________________________________________________
- 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.”
Then Thomas (also known as Didymus) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”
JESUS SHOWS UP- LAZARUS IN GRAVE 4 DAYS
SLIDE 19: SCRIPTURE JOHN 11: 20-22
20. WHEN MARTHA HEARD THAT JESUS WAS COMING, SHE WENT OUT TO MEET HIM, BUT MARY STAYED AT HOME. “LORD, MARTHA SAID TO JESUS, “IF YOU HAD BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER WOULD NOT HAVE DIED. BUT I KNOW THAT EVEN NOW GOD WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU ASK,”
JOHN 11: 23-25
23. JESUS SAID TO HER, “YOUR BROTHER WILL RISE AGAIN.” MARTHA ANSWERED, “I KNOW HE WILL RISE AGAIN IN THE RESURRECTION AT THE LAST DAY.” JESUS SAID TO HER, I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. THE ONE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE, EVEN THOUGH THEY DIE.
JOHN 11:26-27
26. AND WHOEVER LIVES BY BELIEVING IN ME WILL NEBER DIE. DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? YES LORD, SHE REPLIED, I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD, WHO IS COME INTO THE WORLD.”

38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” 40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out! THE DEAD MAN CAME OUT
JESUS RAISES LAZARUS- ANNOUNCES HIS DEATH
JOHN 11:45-46
45 Therefore many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
JOHN 11:46-48
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin. “What are we accomplishing?” they asked. “Here is this man performing many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our temple and our nation.
ONE OF THE STRONGEST EXAMPLES OF LOVE WE HUMANLY KNOW IS A PARENT AND A CHILD

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them.
HANDS SHAPED LIKE HEART
- QUESTION TODAY ISN’T HOW MUCH YOU LOVE HIM
- QUESTIONS ISN’T HOW MUCH SHOULD YOU SHARE AND SPREAD HIS LOVE
