From Death to Life

In John 11:38-44 Jesus brings Lazarus back to life. The wonderful tenth chapter of John. What a background for this Scripture. The stoning incident and Jesus’ departure for another place. The success and revival there. The call to come to the aide of Lazarus. Jesus responds despite the danger. The resurrection of Lazarus. A picture of the salvation of any sinner. Dead in sin; through salvation made spiritually alive. See then the lesson for us: The Responsibility of the disciples in bringing life. (Remove the stone). The resurrection Itself Was Entirely by the Power of God. The great miracle Lazarus dead for four days. The release of Lazarus was done by the disciples. Alive but bound …Alive by the very calling of Jesus “Lazarus come forth” …death had to obey the voice of creation. The stone had to be rolled away for Lazarus to be freed. Todays message will help to expose the stone that is blocking your relationship with Jesus.
