Christ Assures Resurrection Life
Christ’s claim draw the attention
of more than the hungry and sick.
The Pharisees, religious leaders
concerned about status quo,
respond with angry resistance.
But how do you refute a Man
who preaches that He is the
Light of the World, then proves
it by giving sight to the blind?
who claims He is the Resurrection
then validates that claim by raising
a man from the dead. The choice
is either believe Him or silence Him.
Lord, we Wait In Persistent Faith:
Although Jesus loved Martha,
Mary & Lazarus, He Stayed where
He was for the next two days and
did Not Go to them. Finally after
two days, He said to His disciples:
Let’s Go to Judea again (Jn 11:5-7)
Jesus told (Martha): I am the
Resurrection & the life. Anyone who
believes in me will live, even after
dying. Everyone who lives in me and
believes in me will never die(v25-26)
Jesus said to Martha: If you would
believe you would see the glory of
God. Then Jesus looked up and said:
Father, I thank You that You have
Heard me… I said this for the benefit
of the pple standing here that they
may believe that You sent me(41-42)
Lord, help me persist to Wait for You
in Hope and Perseverance, knowing
that You will be coming. Remind me
Lord of Lazarus that Your plan did
not suffer because of Your delay.
For the delay was part of Your
plan so that Your power would be
demonstrated in a greater way.
Grant me Lord patience and faith
in the waiting rooms of life. Amen.
Lord, I do believe in Your Word and
help me believe in the long waiting.
Help me respond in way that reflects
genuine belief in Resurrection life.
Give me Lord the grace I need
to wait in confident hope and not
as those who have no eternal hope.
And praise You Lord for triumphing
over the grave and thank You that
I do not have to live in fear. Amen.
Father God, I thank You that I am
Your child and joint heir with Christ.
Because of that, I can trust that
You will always Hear my prayers.
Help me to maintain ongoing
communication with You, just
like Jesus did, so that I may have
an abiding walk with You and
You will be glorified by my life.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
