As part of the "I Am" series, we are reading through the Gospel of John as a church. We have divided out the chapters to match up with each week's "I Am" statement Jesus makes about himself. We invite you to consider this question as you read, "Who is Jesus?".

The Death of Lazarus
1 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) 3 So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”
4 When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
