"I AM The Resurrection" (John 11:17-26) - Jonny Ardavanis | Easter at The Ryman Auditorium

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a feature of the gospel—it is the gospel. Without it, our faith is empty and our hope is gone. But because Jesus rose, everything changes.

In John 11, we see the raw crisis of death, the honest questions of faith, and the boldest claim ever made:

“I am the resurrection and the life.”

This Easter, we explore:

Why death is humanity’s greatest enemy—and how Jesus conquered it

The spiritual truth behind Lazarus’ resurrection

Why Christianity stands alone in the face of death

What Jesus’ own resurrection means for your future—and your present

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or searching for life beyond religion, this message is for you. Jesus doesn’t just offer resurrection—He is resurrection.

“He is risen.”

“He is risen indeed.”
