TOPIC: JESUS NEVER FAILS

TEXT: John 11: 17 – 27 

17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

INTRODUCTION TEXT

When Jesus heard of the death of Lazarus, he deliberately did not leave immediately to Bethany, the hometown of Lazarus. Marv and Martha, It had now been four days when Jesus finally arrived to see the crowd who had come to comfort the sisters of Lazarus. Martha ran to Jesus. Exclaiming hope that if he had been around, her brother would not have died, but she still believed that God would give Him whatever he asked. However, her bought was for the final resurrection. Jesus assured her that the resurrection could be a present reality, because he is the "Resurrection and the Life."

Many times, we feel that we love Jesus so much that we can order Him around. Jesus can never be late in any matter, even if we do not seem to see His actions in a predetermined way. Whatever Jesus allows to happen in a given situation is for a purpose and in the best interest of the believer. There may be times we get desperate for help from Jesus and we make up our minds on the way He should respond. Let us learn to trust Jesus wholly and like Martha, believe that even when He seems to delay His intervention will never be late.

Prayer: Lord God, give me grace to accept Your will with my whole heart and trust in you in all situations.
