Isaiah sings a song about a servant who will assuredly bring justice to the earth on behalf of almighty God. But this servant will bring justice quietly, gently, and without retribution.

He offers Lazarus raised from the dead; walking, talking proof that he really does have power to grant new life, right here and now in ways we might think impossible. http://pearlchurch.com/sermon_files/10_01_31__John_11.mp3 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:16:00 -0500 29:59 Epiphany, John, The Resurrection, New Life, Belief, Here and Now Melissa Monner Christ is the true vine.
