Compare Jesus raising Lazurus from the dead to us winning souls for Christ. He told the people who loved Lazurus you remove the stone, share the Gospel....that allowed Jesus entrance to speak life unto Lazurus. Then after that he told them to loose him, the bonds that still held him after receiving life. As the church is to lift up, build up and edify those who have come to life in Christ.
I believe that Jesus is real with all my heart and soul. I believe he died for our sins. I love him and I want to be with Him in paradise. I am ready for Him to come back and get His people. I hope His coming back is soon. I am tired of this sinful world and of meam spirited people that want to harm God's children. I am one of His children and I want to be with Him. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Our LORD Jesus wept because He saw Mary and the Jews who came with her weeping. And also from Romans 12^15 we can clearly see that our Lord and Savior demonstrated that kind of empathy here. Thank you
Jesus wept. Forgive me lord for not believing in you, and your word, heal my unbelief lord full of mercy and grace. The compassion of Jesus. Love you JESUS.
Verse 48~The leaders were not worried about whether what they were doing was right or wrong, they were concerned with maintaining their position and authority.
All of those who have died, and believed in JESUS that HE is the SON of GOD though he is dead, yet shall live. All of us sinner are dead, yet if we believe that JESUS is the SON of GOD, and died on the cross and on the 3rd day HE resurrected in the flesh will live for eternalty in the HOLY KINGDOM with the LORD.
Verses 23 and 24- Martha knew that Jesus had performed resurrections but not of anyone who had been dead as long as Lazarus had been. Despite that she still had faith that Lazarus would be resurrected.
To go with my comment above, if a 1st century Middle Eastern king approached a foreign city on a donkey, he was coming in humility, and peace, as Jesus did riding into Jerusalem..but, if he came riding a horse, it meant he had every intention of taking over, and owning the city....He's coming back....He won't be riding a donkey this time. (Rev19:11)
The reason Jesus folded the napkin..........In the Middle East in the 1st. century it was custom to leave your napkin not folded, and thrown on the table, when finished eating, but...if the master left his napkin folded on the table, it meant he was not done, and would be returning soon ......and that was the message Jesus left, by folding the napkin....He was making a statement, ..be ready.
Why did Jesus fold the napkin that was over His face? Well, one thing, it completely proves the shroud of Turin to be a hoax, and roundly and soundly ensures that NO GRAVEN IMAGE OF CHRIST WAS LEFT for men to be snared by relic worship! They that worship and serve the LORD must worship and serve in the Spirit: if anyone has not the Spirit of Christ, he is not at all His!
Though it is not a salvation issue per se, but it is the scriptures. I see via the folded napkin in the tomb that Jesus rose calmly, in control, taking on the day one step at a time. There is an element of decency and order in so doing. Even after such a bloody, violent, and earth shaking event as His crucifixion, the day of His rising is one of quiet, calm, and peace. Folding a napkin.
John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Jesus knew Lazarus believe and worshiped him, by bringing Lazarus from the dead, it was a picture of how Jesus was going to be Glorified when he dies.
"Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." JESUS
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die Believest thou this. Amen thanks to the blood Jesus i believed you and will worship you forever amen hallelujah
Verses 35 and 36: Even though Jesus knew he was going to resurrect Lazarus, he wept because death is a very painful experience. Jesus understands how we feel when we lose someone we love to death.
When we come to Him By Faith: Believing: Receiving: His Awesome: FREE: Gift of Salvation: We could never Earn it: It is Priceless: It cannot be bought: Lord gave his Ultimate: His LIFE: JESUS BOUGHT OUR SOULS: WITH HIS SHED BLOOD: AT CALVARY’S CROSS!
The fact is that Jesus rose from being dead, and was seen alive by several hundred people. That Jesus rose from the dead is the key of Christianity.
