This sermon titled "Glory through the Dark" delivered by Steven Wilhoit at Dwell City Church, focuses on John 11:1-42. The central theme of the sermon is the theological question of why bad things happen, asserting that God orchestrates suffering and "darkness" to magnify His glory in Jesus Christ. Wilhoit uses the story of Lazarus's death and resurrection to illustrate this point, explaining that Jesus intentionally delayed His arrival so that Lazarus would die, thereby allowing Him to perform a greater miracle and reveal His glory as the resurrection and the life. The sermon argues that this experience strengthens the conviction and affection of believers. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus's intentional delay and the resulting suffering were necessary for the greater display of divine power, countering the disciples' and sisters' belief that Jesus should have prevented the death.
