John 11 (29th October) - Andrew

John 11

A small notice I made when I read verse 3.
‘So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, the one you love is very sick.”’
- verse 3
How did the two sisters, Mary and Martha knew that Jesus love Lazarus? Probably because Mary personally experience the love of Christ by pouring the expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet and wiping them with her hair (verse 2).

“… As long as it is light, people can walk safely. They can see because they have the light of this world. Only at night is there danger of stumbling because there is no light.”
- verse 9-10
Remember we are the light of the world? Thus we can see and not stumble easily into the sins of this world.

“Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die like everyone else, will live again. They are given eternal life for believing in me and will never perish…”
- verse 25 - 26
Thanks God that we believe in Him and have the eternal life that He gave us all, and aren’t we glad to have that precious life. Spend this time to really thanks Him for giving us that.

“Jesus responded, ”Didn’t I tell you that you will see God’s glory if you believe? ”
- verse 40
“Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.”
- verse 45
Do you want to see God’s glory shine through you? Believe in Him. And when the people around us see God’s glory shining through us, many of them will believe in Jesus, like those people with Mary on the day Jesus raised up Lazarus. Just believe in Him.
