John 11

 The eye witness accounts, undisputed by critics, demonstrate the authority of Jesus. The Creator God who came to love among us wept at the brokenness of our world. How could we neglect such love by God to redeem and restore what has been damaged by sin. This eye witness account is a glimpse of what is happening and will happen when the gospel takes hold and when He returns. 

Why did everyone want to know about Jesus? Because the lame man at the Temple was now standing behind Peter and John. The lame man at the Pool of Siloam is picking up his mat at the command of Jesus. Lazarus, once buried, is now alive. How did that happen? How were their lives changed? The strongest testimony about Jesus is the witness of a life changed by the power of Jesus. There are drunks who don't drink anymore. There are addicts who are now free from their addiction. Broken marriages have been restored. Our witness is what Christ has done for us that He can also do for you.” - Scot McKnight
