The Four Resurrections (49 of 70)
And The Word Became Flesh
John 5:24-29
Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to John, chapter 5. We've started a series on the gospel of John back last year, and we're going through verse by verse. And so, we haven't gotten really far, but we're in chapter 5. We want to look at a message I've entitled The Four Resurrections.
Now, Benjamin Franklin, who was a founding father, lived from 1706 to 1790, toward the end of his life, he wrote out his own epitaph. Benjamin Franklin wasn't known as a Christian. He believed in prayer, he believed in God, but there's no evidence that he had a personal relationship with Christ. But this is what he wrote: "Here lies the body of B. Franklin, printer.

You know, the Bible is crystal clear on the fact that every single person is going to be resurrected one day. The Bible says, "God has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
So Jesus, in John, chapter 5, is in trouble. You'll find in the gospel accounts Jesus is always in trouble with the religious elite because He didn't play ball the way they wanted Him to. He healed on the Sabbath, which was a major no-no, because that's doing work on the Sabbath. So they're all up in arms that He healed the man at the p ...
