Christ our 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’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.
