In today's post, I want to look at Jesus raising Lazarus, and also forward to Easter.

In Easter and John 11, we see God's greatest, not even death can defeat Him, nor those He appoints. He has called us to more, to life ever lasting, and this is the message of Easter: God makes a way.

Let us read and watch the 5 minute sermon linked from Bethel Church, and celebrate the joy of God's victory over sin, satan and yes, even death!

John 11:38-44 English Standard Version (ESV)

Jesus Raises Lazarus

38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
