Resurrection (John 11)
Dr. Roberto Miranda
RESUMEN: The resurrection of Jesus is not just a historical event, but something that has implications for our lives today. We can live in the power and triumph of the resurrection, which speaks of victory over adversity, healing, power in struggles, and guidance in difficulties. The story of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus shows the importance of turning to Jesus in times of need and the power of prayer. Developing a personal relationship with Christ in times of normality can help us instinctively turn to Him in times of trial. We need to cultivate this relationship every day of our lives and learn to know His voice.
The writer of Ecclesiastes advises to remember your Creator in your youth before the days of trials come. Seek the Lord in normal times and cultivate your relationship with Him. The Lord sees things in a divine perspective while we experience them in a minor key. Sometimes, God allows difficulties in our lives to glorify Himself through us and bless us. The closer we are to Jesus, the more struggles and trials we will have. Before things get better, they have to get worse. The Lord waited for Lazarus to die before intervening. The Lord is more than powerful to solve any situation. Ask the Lord to renew your vision and put courage in your heart. Undertake great things in the name of Jesus Christ.
The sermon encourages a shift in perspective towards a Christian perspective of life and death. The resurrection of Lazarus is used as an example of how the disciples and Christ had different perspectives on death. The sermon emphasizes that Christians should not fear death because in Christ there is only life. The message is that Christ can solve any problem and that Christians should live life with confidence and courage. The sermon ends with an invitation to those who want to invite Jesus into their lives and establish a relationship with him.
The speaker is rejoicing over young couples and mothers with young children, as they have the tools needed for a victorious life. They encourage everyone to take a step of faith and let God work in their lives. The speaker leads a prayer of confession, acknowledging sins and asking for forgiveness. They declare themselves free from all curses and sin through the blood of Jesus and commit to serving Him. The speaker encourages everyone to keep looking for the Lord and open the door for His blessings.

On this day of resurrection we want to meditate on the Christ of the Resurrection, we want to meditate on the fact that you and I can live in that triumph of the Resurrection and here we see the Lord in advance showing what his Resurrection would mean and the positive implications that would have in the lives of all followers of Christ.
John XI: We are going to read some verses and there we will enter more fully into the story. Verse 1 says: A man named Lazarus, from Bethany, the village of Mary and Marta, his sister, was sick. Mary, whose brother Lazarus was sick, was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. So they sent the sisters to say to Jesus, "Lord, behold, the one you love is sick."
