Christ the Resurrection & the 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 clear: Either believe Him or seek
to silence Him once and for all.
Lord, we’ll Persist to Wait In 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 and the life. Anyone
who believes in me will live, even
after dying. Everyone who lives
in me and believes in me will
never die (John 11:25-26).
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
U have Heard me… I said this for
the benefit of the people standing
here, that they may believe that
You sent me (Jn 11:41-42) Amen.
Lord, help me persist to Wait for U
in Hope & Perseverance, knowing
that You will come. Remind me
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 an even greater
way. Grant me patience and faith
in the waiting rooms of life. Amen.
Lord, we do believe in Your Word
but help us in our unbelief due
to the long waiting. Help us to
respond in a way that reflects
genuine belief in Resurrection life.
Give us the grace we need to
wait in hope and not as those
who have no eternal hope. And
praise You for triumphing over
the grave and thank You that we
do not have to live in fear. Amen.
Father God, I thank You that I am
Your child & joint heir with Christ.
Because of that, I can trust that
You 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.
