Lazarus (Part 1)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg analyzes John chapter 11, focusing on the story of Lazarus. Gregg addresses the differences in the accounts of Lazarus in Luke and John, and questions their historical accuracy. He highlights the lack of witness accounts from Lazarus himself and argues that his resurrection does not seem to be a significant factor. Gregg also comments on Jesus' delay in responding to Lazarus' sickness, emphasizing that God does not always fulfill our desires for health and wealth, but may have higher plans for us. Overall, Gregg stresses the importance of seeking spiritual rather than earthly treasures.
