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 either believe Him or silence Him.
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
You 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
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 long waiting.
Help me respond in way that reflects genuine belief in Resurrection life.
Give me Lord the grace I need
to wait in 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 & 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.
