John 11 explores the complex interplay of faith, doubt, and divine sovereignty through the narrative of Lazarus's resurrection. The sermon highlights Martha's struggle to reconcile her intellectual understanding of Jesus's divinity with the reality of grief and uncertainty, while emphasizing that even in moments of questioning, God is orchestrating events for a greater purpose. The text underscores the danger of hardened unbelief, exemplified by the religious leaders' plot to arrest Jesus, and reveals God's ability to use even their actions to fulfill His plan, ultimately pointing to Jesus's sacrificial death as a means of gathering believers into one community of faith, demonstrating that God's power transcends human understanding and control.
