What Message Did We Miss?

Good Tuesday to you! If Lazarus had lived and died and lived and died about 2,000 years later, a book or two would tell us what went through his mind during the days before and after those four days in the tomb. Wouldn't you just like to know what Lazarus had to say about that whole resurrection, after life, and after death thing? What did he say to Jesus? Of course the first things he said sounded a bit like, "Mfff, hmff, hrmf!" before Jesus told the startled crowd to let him loose. But, what do you say to the man who just called you forth from four days in the grave? What do you say to the thousand and one questions he was no doubt asked from that day? Where have you been, Laz? Did you see God? What's it like over there?

We might tend to think we missed an important message by not having an account from Lazarus. But in that thinking, we may well miss the message that is Lazarus: Jesus has power over death and the grave, and not just after His resurrection but always had that authority and always will. We need not fear death and the grave while our Lord is sovereign.

Have a great Tuesday,
