Let’s turn to John’s Gospel chapter 12, and reflect on verses 12 – 19. Notice that a large crowd went out to meet Jesus & welcome Him to Jerusalem; Lazarus’ resurrection was the cause for many to believe on Jesus.
Pause & Ponder: Lazarus was a dead for 4 days, and Jesus raised Him from the dead (see John 11).
Realize you are a ‘Lazarus,’ for Jesus has raised you from death to life. He has raised you from the tomb of spiritual darkness to the glorious light of spiritual life.
Insert your name in the place of ‘you’ in 1 Peter 2:9
“But you _______ are a chosen race,,, a royal priesthood,, a holy nation,, a people for his possession,, so that you ________may proclaim the praises,, of the One who called you _______out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
Pause to praise Him for raising you from death to life.
Pray for your ‘resurrected life’ to stir others to believe. Pray for opportunities to give a bold believing testimony of Jesus’ resurrection power to ones in your daily traffic patterns.
