Jeremiah 3; Jeremiah 4; John 11
I Am The Resurrection And The Life.
Anyone
Who Believes In Me Will Live, Even After Dying
Scripture
25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.
Do you believe this?
Observation
With
out a doubt this is one of my most favorite passages in the Bible!
Lazarus was one of Jesus’ best friends along
with his two sisters Martha and Mary yet Jesus let Lazarus die. After waiting
until Lazarus has been in the grave for 4 days Jesus goes to see Martha and
Mary … and Lazarus.
John
11:25 is one of the most powerful promises in the Bible! It is very Good News!
Martha
and Mary were both upset and probably very disappointed in Jesus that He didn’t
arrive in time to keep Lazarus alive. Jesus’ response to Mary and Martha’s disappointment
was this powerful statement.
After
making this statement Jesus went to the tomb of Lazarus to show that He had the
power to back up His promise and He called for Lazarus to come out of the
grave! Lazarus bounced out of the grave still wrapped in grave clothes.
One day you and I will die, but I will never ever really
die … how about you?
Do you believe this?
Application
Prayer
Heavenly Father, yesterday I was once again reminded with
the death of one of the volunteers at the hospital just how short this life is
and how quickly it comes to an end. I didn’t have the chance to talk to this
person about her relationship with You. I don’t know where this person will
spend eternity. I know that apart from a personal relationship with You people
are lost and will spend an eternity in Hell. Give me the opportunity to share
with people the Good News of John 11:25 today.
