Questions Jesus Asks: Do You Believe This?

Trinity United Methodist Church's Podcast

This Sunday we look at a story of a family that has experienced death. Lazarus, the brother of Mary and Martha, has died. It is a family Jesus knows and loves. He comes to visit the grieving sisters. Martha greets him with disappointment, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” After a verbal exchange about the final resurrection, a common Jewish belief, Jesus says to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who believes in me will never die.” Then Jesus asked her the question that is the title of this Sunday’s message, “Do you believe this?”

Read the story in John 11 and come ready to think together about life and death, belief and unbelief, resurrection and new life. With another mass murder on our minds – this most recent one in a house of worship – we will share hope, encouragement and trust in the face of death, as we explore the meaning and mystery of resurrection.
