Recorded October 26, 2008. In this episode, Richard examines the story of Lazarus found in John 11. Jesus receives word that Lazarus, someone very close and dear to Jesus is very ill. Jesus deliberately waits before going to see Lazarus. Before He arrives to see Lazarus, Lazarus dies.
Does the story of Lazarus die with his death? Jesus finds Lazarus’ sisters mourning. Lazarus has been dead and buried four days. What more can be done except offer condolences and mourn with the family? If you look at John 11, you will discover the story of Lazarus ends with Lazarus alive and well.
Even in the most hopeless circumstances, God has the power to transform our tragedies into victory. Lazarus’ family and friends had to roll away the tombstone before receiving the victory. What do you need to do before experiencing your victory?
