EVEN WHEN YOU’RE DEAD
The two guarantees in life are death and taxes and this story is not about taxes! Death brings everything out of us: sadness, anger, disappointment, confusion, blaming, resentment, gratitude, and when Jesus is around, even, in time – joy.

John 11:17-44
- When was the last time you faced death? What was that like?
- Would you say you’ve experienced disappointment with God? Are you willing to tell that story?
- What exactly does Jesus mean when he says “I am the Resurrection and the life.”?
- “Jesus wept”. Does it do anything for you to know that the Living God joins you in your grief? Is it true to say that he weeps with you?
- The word “believe” is used 4 times in the passage. It’s not really what you believe but WHO you believe. Do you believe in Jesus? If so, explain why and what that means. If not, explain why and what that means for you.
