Resurrection Life

Jeremiah 5-6; John 12 

“Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and putting their faith in him.”

John 12:9-11

If we have experienced salvation in Jesus Christ and are filled with the resurrection power of his Spirit, people will come to see us, just as they did Lazarus. We, too, have been dead in sin. We, too, have been raised to new life in Christ. We, too, should look different! We, too, should have a resurrection life story. We, too, should be a threat to the enemy who is opposed to the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. On account of our testimony, many should be coming to Jesus.

Where are the Lazarus stories from death to life?

The threat to kill Lazarus no longer mattered because he was filled with the resurrection life and power of the Spirit! We, too, are to “love not our lives unto death” as we live on mission with Jesus.

Is this our story?

“Lord Jesus, you are the resurrection and the life! Fill me with your life, for your glory.”
