In today’s passage, Jesus is going to reveal three things that happened at the cross, and how the effect of these three things draw us to Jesus.

Having just entered Jerusalem, Jesus is just a few days from facing the cross. Today, Jesus reveals a little bit of the struggle He was already experiencing in his heart. What was it about the cross that Jesus dreaded? And why was Jesus willing to endure the very cross he dreaded?
Today, we get to see in the Bible the arrival of a King as HE enters His city. The King is Jesus, and the city He enters is Jerusalem. But King Jesus’ arrival includes some unexpected things that no one saw coming.
We have ways to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, but how would you celebrate someone coming back to life? Today we look at the way Mary, Martha, and Lazarus displayed their love and thankfulness to Jesus for raising Lazarus from the dead.
Today we get to see two sisters who were about to experience the most incredible miracle of Jesus they had ever seen. But before that happened, they also experienced the love of Jesus who was with them in their sorrow.
We’re in the middle of seeing how Jesus is going to answer the prayer of Mary and Martha for their brother Lazarus. As we’re waiting to pick up on that story next week, we’re going to look at a Psalm that reflects a little bit of what Mary and Martha are going to be experiencing…
When we pray and Jesus does not answer “yes” to our prayers, how do we respond? Today we will look at two sisters who went through just such an experience. Through their experience, we will see how Jesus works in unseen ways, even when He does not answer with a “yes”.
Today, we get to see the power of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, not only in seeking us out and rescuing us, but also in protecting us and keeping us safe as His sheep.
The Bible often uses sheep to describe people. In a spiritual sense, it’s amazing how much help and care we need, just like sheep! In John 10, Jesus is going to use the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep to help us see more clearly who He is as our Shepherd.
Today we’re going to see that physical sight isn’t the only sight Jesus gives the man who was born blind. The sight Jesus gives this man a second kind of sight that is even more valuable, spiritual sight.
