The Resurrection and the Life

September 18, 2022

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.

And what that means for anyone who puts their trust in Jesus, the Son of God, is this: Your sins are forgiven, your judgment has been removed, and your life has been reconciled to God Because once you put your trust in the Son of God… His resurrection life becomes your life!
