We have already studied seven miracles recorded in the Gospel of John. But there is an eighth miracle in John 21. In this chapter, the main subject is Peter. If you know the Bible, you will find that Peter in the Gospel of John is different from Peter in the Book of Acts. Peter seems to have transformed into a different person. In John, Peter was impulsive, loved to be the leader and often spoke impetuously. But in Acts, Peter is a true spiritual leader, he is courageous and humble, his ministry was full of power; when he stood up to preach, 3000 – 5000 people turned to the Lord. John 21 records the turning point in Peter’s life. Because the Lord Jesus performed a miracle (of love), Peter’s life was totally transformed. In this miracle, we realize the Lord requests three things from those who belong to him: 1. Love Him 2. Serve Him 3. Follow Him.

The Gospel of John records seven miracles. Today we will be studying the last of these seven miracles: Jesus’ raising Lazarus, who had already been dead for four days, back to life. This can be called the greatest miracle, because this miracle defeated death and sin. Today, I want us to study this great miracle from another perspective – how to resurrect the spiritually dead. The Book of Ephesians tells us we are all dead in our sins, we are all spiritually dead. But the Lord Jesus made us alive, that is, we were born again. How do we become born again?
