Days four tomb been Lazarus rest
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:17-21
This poor one cried out and the LORD heard, and from all his distress he saved him. Psalm 34:7
During the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said, “Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.” Acts 5:19-20
John 11:17-21, Psalm 34 & Acts 5:19-20
I can only imagine how fast the word-of-mouth in communities were when Jesus went from one location to next but to hear Martha run to meet him tells me she believed in him unlike many who did not you can feel her love for Jesus and respect for him as the Son of God. This small section in John speaks of a miracle that Jesus would soon complete because of His love for a long-lasting friend did offer healing and a pre-look at the Resurrection. We all know Lazarus did die one day and was buried but experienced resurrection by the embrace of a friendship between himself, his two sisters and Jesus we all encounter in our lives as treasurable affection lifelong.
These jewels and gold come from a different type of fortune that has been nourished and brought to fruition by surrendering to the love of God. Just as Jesus did returning to Lazarus to bring him back to life you too can see this rejuvenation you provide through Christ for people who ache for the peace of Salvation’s freedom when you return today to your long-lost home as much as the posts across a Facebook page brings enlightenment as much as energy to live Redeemed. There’s a fright here because people feel they have to give up things they have earned yet occupy their time in self instead of seeking the works of wisdom by Sharing god’s truth. God asks us to share this wonder of reconciliation by confessing with others Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Amen.
Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for the intentions of my dearest friend and all those who have asked us to pray for them. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.
