In the Gospel of John, the story of JESUS’ friend’s death and return to life shows many points about Our Heavenly FATHER and Our Lord JESUS CHRIST.
It shows JESUS’ humanity, HIS humility, HIS knowledge of the FATHER’S ways, HIS Faith in the FATHER, the Power of HIS spoken word through Faith in GOD.
It also shows the position of the lost and found. See in the following passage of Scripture, with the bold text revealing the above points that I have described.
“When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him! And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.” John 11:33-48 KJV
Please take the time to read the points in the bold text above a couple times. Let them speak to your heart.
Now a point I want to make about those who viewed the miracle, is that many believed and others went their way and told the Pharisees, who when they heard, thought how to eliminate JESUS, so they would not lose their so called authority and power in the land. It was not about GOD at all that they cared about. They used religion as a cover up for selfish gain. They and their followers were lost and blind. Please get this. Lazarus was dead in the grave 4 days. He came out alive with the burial linens rapped around him. Many saw and believed, thus followed JESUS.
Can you imagine a decaying body called to come out and still not believe that JESUS IS the MESSIAH.
That is what happened back then and still happens today.
There are the lost and the found. Hells doors are wide open for the lost. Hell is prepared for satan and his fallen angels of like. It was never meant for humans. But satan wants to destroy the future of as many people as he can. Because he hates GOD and he hates people. People are the delight of GOD’S creation.
Don’t turn your back on the Lover of your soul. You are the apple of HIS eye and the delight of HIS sight. HE Loves you with an everlasting love. HE sent HIS SON JESUS as the penalty for sin. It is a free gift to be a new creation in HIM. Be found in HIM.
Choose to believe and say yes. Repent and find GOD. Ask HIM to be the LORD of your LIFE.
Miracles are all around. Don’t be blinded. JESUS reached out from between the clouds with HIS STRONG RIGHT ARM and saved me from being killed in a car. Whether you believe it or not, it is true. Lazarus was dead in the grave for 4 days and was restored to life again. Believe it or not, it is still true.
The only hoax is that their is no GOD, no heaven or hell, no eternal life or eternal hell. Don’t fall prey to those lies!!
Repent and turn to GOD. Say YES to HIM in JESUS NAME. Heaven will rejoice! You will become a new creation in CHRIST! Hallelulia!! Thank YOU LORD. AMEN and AMEN
