Sunday May 14
4th Sunday After Easter
Bible Reading: John 11: 17 - 27
Topic: The Resurrection And Life Is Here
When Jesus eventually came
up to the house of Mary and Martha, the dead Lazarus had already been in the
tomb for four days.
In v. 21, Martha told
Jesus that if He had come early enough, Lazarus would not have died. Martha's
statement implied that Jesus came too late to do anything to help Lazarus.
Even though she believed
that Lazarus would resurrect on the last day, she had hoped that Jesus would
have come in time to heal him.
The wonderful news,
however is that Jesus is the Resurrection and Life. Whether we live or die, we
are alive in Him!
Moreover, God is always on
time to perfect His Will in our lives.
Are there some situations
in your life which you think are beyond hope and help? Jesus proves from
today's reading that He always has perfect timing.
Sarah passed the age of
child bearing, yet God caused her to conceive and hear a child. No situation is
hopeless in the Hands of God.
He can cause dead dreams
and hopes to come to life again. He did it for Lazarus, He can do it for you.
Only Trust HIM.
Prayer:
By the Power of the Holy
Spirit, I command everything that is dead in my life, my health, my ministry
and my business to resurrect in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory Verse: John 11: 22

now whatsoever Thou wilt ask of God, God wilt give it Thee"
