Sermon
I Am the Resurrection and the Life (Easter)
By Tim Keller
Sermon
Truth, Tears, Anger and Grace
Tim Keller | September 16, 2001
Overview
Today’s sermon comes from the passage in John 11 that describes Jesus’ miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. Mary and Martha looked at the tragedy of their brother’s death and were saying, “What is this about? Where were you, Lord, in all this?”
Jesus brings four things to bear on this devastating situation: truth, tears, anger, and grace. Truth (which he wields with Martha), tears (which he wields with Mary), anger (which he wields at the tomb), and grace (which is for everybody).
