For a time of study in God's word, I wanna have you turn to John chapter 11. John chapter 11, thank you so much for choosing to worship with us today. It's great to see all of you. Here this morning.
John chapter. 11, we I guess if you wanna give a title to the message this morning, it would be Jesus handles the death of a loved one. Jesus handles the death of a loved one and we'll be looking at, most of verses 1 through 53 this morning, but we will be skipping over parts of this chapter just for the sake of time.

Informing us that Donna's dad was dying and had perhaps just hours to, to live. And I've never seen my wife weep the way that she wept in those moments, and her pain was not simply over the fact that her dad was dying, but it was over the fact that she was 2000 miles away from her dad while he was breathing his final breaths in Indiana.

And at 9 In the morning, the following morning, 13 hours later, Donna and I were lifting off the runway at LAX. On our way to Indiana to be with Donna's dad. And, or to be with her family. No one needed to ask Donna and me to come....
