THE STORY OF JESUS: John 11:38-44
“If you believe, you will see the glory of God?” (John 11:40)
I believe God CAN raise a dead person to life.
But I normally do not believe that God WILL raise a dead person.
For some reason, God doesn’t go about raising dead people on a regular basis.
God does do it for Lazarus, for the benefit of the people standing there.
That they might believe that God sent Jesus as the messiah.
Why doesn’t He do this as much today, for the benefit of people today?
Is it because we don’t believe that God WILL do it?
Although it would be great if He did, it is not necessary for me.
Even if God didn’t raise Lazarus, I would still know He CAN do it.
Because I believe in a God that is able to do more than we ask or imagine.
My belief does not depend on signs to prove that He can do it.
If there is a God – and I do believe there is – this sign is nothing.
So even though I have not seen a dead person come back to life…
I believe I will see the glory of this God I believe in, one day!
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, thank You for showing me a God I can believe in, a God I can love. I’m hanging on for the day when my faith shall be sight!
