“Lazarus, come forth”

What this episode covers

A powerful call from Jesus that still speaks today. In this message, we see that no situation is too far gone, no life too broken, and no hope too buried for the voice of Christ. When Jesus calls, death must respond, and what was bound must be loosed. This preaching will stir your faith and remind you that God can bring life out of any grave. Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation John 11:1 “11 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.” John 11:3 “Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.4 But when Jesus heard [it], he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified by it.” John 11:11-13 “Lazarus, our friend, is fallen asleep, but I go that I may awake him out of sleep.12 The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he be fallen asleep, he will get well.13 But Jesus spoke of his death, but *they* thought that he spoke of the rest of sleep.14 Jesus therefore then said to them plainly, Lazarus has died.” John 11:15 “15 And I rejoice on your account that I was not there, in order that ye may believe. But let us go to him.” John 11:17-27 “17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off,19 and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother. 20 Martha then, when she heard Jesus is coming, went to meet him; but Mary sat in the house.21 Martha therefore said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;22 but even now I know, that whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee.23 Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24 Martha says to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.25 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes on me, though he have died, shall live;26 and every one who lives and believes on me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She says to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.” John 11:33-46 “33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.35 Jesus wept.36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died? 38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.39 Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].40 Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;42 but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.45 Many therefore of the Jews who came to Mary and saw what he had done, believed on him;46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.” John 10:11 “11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep:” Luke 16:19-26 “19 Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.20 And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,21 and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of
