Ezekiel 37.1-14 helps us to see that our greatest need is not to turn a new leaf or gain better circumstances or fix all our relational problems. Our greatest need is spiritual life. What we all need is spiritual resurrection. In our text this morning we’re given both a Picture of Resurrection (vv. 1-10) and a Promise of Resurrection (vv.11-14). The main question we must answer in this text is can these bones live? And the answer is an emphatic yes! Because Christ lives, we too can live. In him, we can have resurrection life.

This past week we lost a dear sister after a year-long grueling battle with cancer. She exemplified what it meant to glorify Jesus in her living and in her dying. And so, in honor of her life and death, we took a break from 1 Timothy to consider two simple truths from Philippians 1.21 to help us follow in her foot steps: 1)to Live is Christ and 2) to Die is Gain.

For Resurrection Sunday, we take a look at John 11 and consider the tragedy of death and the hope of resurrection from John 11. We consider four truths that are meant to build our hope in Christ and his resurrection: 1) Christ's Purpose, 2) Christ's Promise, 3) Christ's Passion, and 4) Christ's Power.
