Come Forth

         Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. It is true! He did it. Though He allowed Lazarus to suffer in sickness and face death, He demonstrated His love by giving him a resurrection.

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. John 11:43 (KJV) 

So, what does this have to do with anything? In the same manner that Christ delivered Lazarus from the pangs of death, so will He deliver you from the pangs of hopelessness, despair, depression, and any other ailments (physical and spiritual) that may cause you to be like the ‘walking’ dead. From the story of Lazarus’ resurrection, we discover this truth.

No matter how bad it has been, Jesus can and will give you a resurrection. Stand in faith again. Trust His love again. Trust his faithfulness again. Receive all that He has for you. If individuals who have no relationship with God received miracles, how much the more those who have put their faith in Christ? ‘Lazarus,’ come forth!

Prayer of the Week:

“Lord, I thank you that your thoughts for me are for good. Give me the strength to do what is necessary to receive all that you have for me. Thank you now for all things. Amen.”
