Download MP3What does it mean that Jesus is the resurrection and the life? How does Jesus raising Lazarus foreshadow his own resurrection?
In this episode Noël and special guest Rev Amanda Bedzrah delve into the theme of resurrection as presented in John 11, focusing on Jesus' statement: 'I am the resurrection and the life.'
