"Jesus snorted."
This Sunday we look into the second half of Jesus final miracle in the book of John- resurrecting Lazarus.
Just before the miracle we read in verse 33,
"(Jesus) was deeply moved in spirit and troubled."
But here's the interesting thing:
in the Greek it's one word-
Embrimaomai
It literally means to snort.
So what is that all about?
Why does Jesus "snort" at death?
More importantly, what does Jesus do about it?
Each week of Lent we'll draw closer to Easter.
Each week will shed light on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Why did Jesus have to die?
How is his death essential for salvation?
What difference does the resurrection make in our lives and in our world?
