Lazarus had a problem: he was dead. But no problem is too big for Jesus; he can bring the dead to life. We've all got problems, and we all start with one problem that is bigger even that Lazarus's problem: we're spiritually dead in our sins. But no problem is too big for Jesus; no one is too hard for him to rescue. Jesus can bring new life to anyone.

Christians should expect opposition. It's inevitable; the Bible promises it will happen. It also tells us how to prepare for it. So, how are we to respond to opposition? What are the results of it? And how will it be resolved?

It wasn't the external things that were amazing, but the baby born in a stable, placed in a manger, that they realised was the King of Kings. It's not the normal response when you see a baby, but they worshipped Him.

Some of the gifts we receive at Christmas are lovely, some are funny, and some are just strange. But Christmas is the time when we focus on God's inexpressible gift to us, Jesus.

What is death? The Bible says that death is an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). We think it's natural because it happens to everyone, but God didn't create us for death, it came into the world through sin and is a sign of our brokenness (Romans 5:12). Death is unnatural.
