The sermon is from John 11:17-44 – “Life After Resurrection”. “… they were broken off because of their unbelief, …” – Romans 11:20
Ethnic Israel eventually violated the terms of the Old Covenant and suffered the curses of that covenant in 1st Century A.D. (See Deuteronomy Chapters 27-30). They were “cut off” or “broken off” from the blessings of being known as God’s covenant people (See 2 Cor. 3:7-11; Heb. 8:6-13). So, what is Israel’s hope since the infliction of these curses in the 1st Century? How can they have covenant status as the people of God and experience once again inclusion in the visible church on earth? They must turn to Jesus of Nazareth; they must embrace the Lord Jesus Christ by faith alone and “be grafted in” to the visible church under the New Covenant (Rom. 11:23-24). Christ is their (and our) only hope in life and death.
