Topic: Lazarus Is Dead, So?: | |
---|---|
“Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). Before, during, and after Jesus walked through the streets of Jerusalem and beyond, mankind has always had an unquantifiable fear of death. Death is final. Death is total. Death causes irreparable loss. That is the reason people wail and are inconsolable. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Hebrews 2:14–15). Then came Master Jesus, who not only demystified death, but taught the world that death is not final. Death is not total. Death is not irreparable. Lazarus is dead, so? I can do something about it! I not only have resurrection powers; I am resurrection and life! When Jesus called out with a loud voice into the spiritual realms, Lazarus, who was as dead as dead can be (four days) in Hades (in Abraham’s bosom) heard and started journeying back into the physical realm! It’s never too late with Jesus! He doesn’t need to be in a hurry. Are you forty or fifty years old and unmarried? So? You are yet to have your physical babies and it seems you’re getting old? So? Is your business dead? So? Still looking for a job at thirty-five? So? You have remained in the same level for six years? So? Are you feeling like you have failed in life? So? Is it December 17, 2013 and you don't have anything to show for all your efforts this year? So? The same thing Jesus told Martha is what He is telling you today! “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” (John 11:40). The whole world you see today was created by God in 6 days! Time is inconsequential with God! |
