God's Glory Church

Imagine: your brother has been dead for four days. Grief is so all-consuming that every part of you feels numb. Your tears have dried, but the pain is far from gone.

Then Jesus appears – your friend, who is considered the Messiah, who was prophesied, the Savior of the world, who performed amazing miracles. Only… He wasn’t there to keep your brother from dying.

But then He does something completely unexpected: He tells your brother who has been dead for four days to come out of the grave… and your brother listens. Lazarus comes out alive.

Jesus knew that the resurrection of Lazarus was only a foretaste of what was to come. In the end, he will conquer death—for good. After all, the grave will not have the last word. Those who believe in Him will never truly die, but will pass from this broken world to something far better.

This is why the very words that Jesus spoke to Lazarus’ sister, Martha, just before Lazarus’ miraculous moment, are the same words that Jesus would speak to you…

“I am the resurrection and the life! – Jesus said. – Whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, he will live. And no one who lives and believes in Me will ever die. Do you believe this?”
John 11:25-26

Martha probably had a billion questions and maybe just as many doubts. But she was with Jesus, she saw His power, and she could not deny His love. And so Martha answered:

“Yes, Lord! – she said. — I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, Who was to come into the world”
John 11:27

Although our earthly bodies will die, God has more than we can imagine.

Do you believe in this?

Let our hearts echo the heart of Martha, believing that the Lord is exactly who He calls Himself. Let’s trust God more than our eyes see. Let us have faith to follow Him to the end.
