UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL: The Resurrection and the Life
When someone tells you who they are, listen. That statement is pretty much true in life, but it’s also true when it comes to our faith. Jesus doesn’t make it difficult or complicated for us to know him. In fact, seven different times in the gospel of John, Jesus explicitly describes himself for us. Each statement reveals his divine nature and desire for a personal relationship with us. From the Bread of Life to the Resurrection, we discover how Jesus meets our deepest needs and invites us to know him - up close and personal.

STRANGE AND SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT OPOSSUMS
Just in case you wanted to learn more about North America's only marsupial.
https://blog.nature.org/2021/05/11/strange-and-surprising-facts-about-opossums/DEATH IS OUR REALITY
The spectre of death hung over Jesus and his disciples too. At any moment they knew that Jesus could be arrested and killed.
Jesus’s words and actions on that day in Bethany, though, are an indication that the world is not as it seems.
FAITH IS OUR RESOURCE
What do we learn about Martha's faith from this story?
Her faith was limited
Her faith was imperfect
Good news! We don’t have to have it all figured out. We don’t have to have perfect faith.We just have to be willing to place our trust completely in Jesus.
JESUS IS OUR RESCUE
Life is not what you think it is.
Death is not what you think it is.
Here's what that means for us:
Some of us who think we are alive are actually dead.
Real life is available to all of us, right now!
Jesus’s mission was for you! His life is for you!
Real life, life that comes from Jesus, NEVER ENDS!
"Do you believe this?"
