The Miracle of the Resurrection | Easter at Spirit

He went to the cross… but He didn’t stay there.
He went to the tomb… but He didn’t stay there.
On the third day… He got up.

This Easter message walks through the final and greatest sign in the Gospel of John—the resurrection of Jesus.

Throughout John, every miracle is called a sign. Why? Because signs aren’t the point… they point to something greater. And the resurrection is the sign that changes everything.

In this message, we explore the tension so many people feel:
If God is good… why doesn’t He always do what we expect?

Mary and Martha believed Jesus could have healed Lazarus—but He didn’t show up in time. And yet, what looked like absence was actually part of a greater plan. Because Jesus didn’t just come to heal—He came to raise the dead.

This message is for anyone who has ever felt disappointed, distant, or unsure where God is. Because the resurrection isn’t just something that happened—it’s an invitation to believe.

Either it’s real… or it’s not.
And if it is—everything changes.
