The Resurrection and the Life

  • Lazarus
  • Martha

  • John 11:1-44

Here we see why Jesus didn’t come when Mary and Martha wanted Him to come.  Here we see disappointment transformed to delight.  Jesus didn’t do for them what they wanted. He did so much more. They needed hope, and Jesus gave them hope. They needed comfort and Jesus gave them comfort. They wanted healing, but Jesus gave them something better, when He called Lazarus forth from the grave, He put to end our greatest fear, the fear of death.

Jesus is more than what meets the eye!  To these Jews all they saw was a man who was a blasphemer and worthy of death.  But to those who have ears to hear, Jesus is proclaiming the good news of God. The Father dedicated the Son and sent Him to us to be the meeting place between God and man.  He is God who became man and is now worthy of worship.
