    • "The One You Love Is Sick" (John 11:3)

      "The One You Love Is Sick" (John 11:3)

      Series: Mental Health and the Church

      Speaker: William HC

      English Service

      Date: 28th September 2025

      Passage: John 11:1-4

      -------------------

      A short sermon from Ps William from John 11. When the one you love is sick, only Jesus is our perfect counsellor.

      Before we get into the Q&A panel, I want to preach very briefly from the story that we just heard the start of.

      In the story, notice how the story sits within two groups of men who argue about His identity and mission (v5–16, 45-53).

      • But let us zoom in to the two women (v17–20), and notice their two opposite responses to grief… despite saying the exact same thing to Jesus!
        • 11:21 Martha, to Jesus: “Lord… If you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
        11:32 Mary, to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Identical, word for word!

        To one troubled soul… Jesus taught… (v23–25). Yet to another troubled soul… Jesus wept… (v32–36). When would you teach? When would you weep? We need wisdom to know when to do which, yet Jesus the certified counsellor demonstrates there is a proper time and place for one or the other. Because he is our perfect Counsellor, he is the best person we can turn to with our troubled souls.

        Because listen again to verse 4, where He says: “This sickness will not end in death… it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” So whether anxiety… or past trauma… whatever your lifelong condition, God has a plan for it not to end in death… do you believe this? May it then be for God’s glory.
