Seeking Truth Bible Study: Gospel of John (Chapter 11 Part 1)

In John 11, we read about the 5th sign (the raising of Lazarus) and the 7th “I Am”
statement: “I am the resurrection and the life.” The resurrection of Lazarus not only foreshadows the
resurrection of Christ but it is also a confirmation of the universal resurrection of the dead. Sharon
emphasizes a fundamental tenant of our faith: at the second coming of Jesus Christ, we will all
experience a bodily resurrection, either to the resurrection of life in heaven or to the resurrection of
condemnation in hell. We will be reunited with either our glorified or condemned bodies.
