His Voice Was Stronger Than Death

John 11:43. 'Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.' When Jesus stood at the tomb of Lazarus, many voices were already speaking. Some were weeping, some were mourning. Some were saying it's too late. Lazarus has been dead for four days and a stone covers the grave. Every voice around that tomb was declaring the situation final. Then one voice rose above all the others. Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." His voice was stronger than death, stronger than the stone, stronger than the hopelessness surrounding the grave. He doesn't call when you have the strength to get up on your own. He calls when you have no strength left, when every other voice tries to tell you there is no future. Today, if you can hear His voice, don't harden your heart, move towards where He is calling you. It's time to pray.
