The Raising of Lazarus

The Raising of Lazarus – John 11:1-44

                We are now in our fourth day of this lesson.  Jesus has the tomb stone removed and Martha as practical as she is told Him that he had been dead for four days and so there would be a bad odour. 

1.       Jesus told Martha that she would so the glory of God if she believed.  The word glory means to have the character and essence of God.

2.       The stone was removed and Jesus prayed that the Father would hear Him and that people would see that He has come to the Father. 

3.       Jesus then told Lazarus to come forth and He did.  Lazarus still in his grave cloths came out and he was

        unwrapped and set free.  Jesus will set you free from your tomb of sin.  He will loose the grave cloths of

        death, hell and the grave.  Jesus will set any captive free all we have to do is ask.
