Speaker:
Jonathan Gibson (Harrogate)

Readings:
Mark Ch. 5 vs. 38-43
Luke Ch.7 vs. 11-16
John Ch. 11 vs. 39-46

Jonathan spoke about three miracles of Jesus raising people back to life. This is a picture of the spiritual life Jesus can give to all those who come to Him. He can deliver us from spiritual death and give us eternal life if we believe on Him.
1) Mark 5 - Jesus told a man whose daughter was dying, "Do not be afraid, only believe." Jesus then went on to raise her from the dead.
2) Luke 7 - Jesus met a woman whose son had died and told her, "Do not weep." He raised her son back to life.
3) John 11 - Jesus told a sister whose brother had died, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
Martha replied: " Yes Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."
Jesus again showed His power over death by raising her brother from the dead.
