Tape Five - Jesus Is The Resurrection and the Life
By Pastor Fenton Moorhead
... Jesus is sent word by the sisters, and the word is, "The one you love is
sick," he's sick.
They sent the message, but by the time the message reached Jesus where He
was, a distance away, Lazarus in fact had died. And so the disciples don't know that,

And there are times where we see His limitations, how He would limit the use
of His power, and then there are times when He would simply demonstrate the full
power of God, and this is one of those moments.
Now, the lesson for you and I in this scripture is, you and I in some area of
our lives, are in need of a resurrec ...
