Never too late!

Never too late!

John 11: 39 - 44

Jesus said, TAKE AWAY THE STONE. Martha, the sister of the dead man [Lazarus], exclaimed, But Lord, by this time he [is decaying and] throws off an offensive odor, for HE HAS BEEN DEAD FOUR DAYS!

Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you and promise you that if you would believe and rely on Me, you would SEE THE GLORY OF GOD?

SO THEY TOOK AWAY THE STONE. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

Yes, I know You always hear and listen to Me, but I have said this on account of and for the benefit of the people standing around, so that they may believe that You did send Me [that You have made Me Your Messenger].

When He had said this, HE SHOUTED WITH A LOUD VOICE, Lazarus, come out!

And OUT WALKED THE MAN WHO HAD BEEN DEAD, his hands and feet wrapped in burial cloths (linen strips), and with a [burial] napkin bound around his face. Jesus said to them, Free him of the burial wrappings and let him go.

Pray the Word:

Lord, as I’m reminded of the words to this song – I renew my trust and confidence in You!

Right know you may be fighting a battle of fear
You've cried to the Lord 'I need You now!'
But He has not appeared.
My friend don't be discouraged
Cause He's still the same.
He'll be right here and He'll roll back your stone and He'll call out your name!

When He's four days late and all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why You've waited so long.
But His way is God's way - it's not yours or mine
But isn't it great when He's four days late - He's still on time!
