"Where is God when _____?" Fill in the blank with the question of the day, your life, or your friends lives.
"Where is God when it hurts?"
"How am I to handle grief?"
How can you turn tears into triumph? With the truth.
John 11:23-27
It is now four days after Lazarus' death.
Seek the truth, because theology matters.
"Your brother will rise again."
"But ....."
Yes, Jesus is Lord, but who he is, is more important because there is no "universal" salvation.
What you believe determines how you will live your life, where you will place your hope in eternity.
Know the truth, It is Jesus!
Jesus claimed to be the resurrection and the life. And then He proved it!
Make a note here my skeptical, non-Christian readers, the Rabbis were to write about how after the death of Jesus, they moved against Lazarus. But a fight broke out amongst them. They KNEW Lazarius had been raised from the dead, so placed him and his sisters bound in a leaky boat and set it our to sea for "God" to take their lives.
Lazarus reappears as the Bishop of Cyprus, was to die there and was memorialized there. Eventually, his grave was moved to today's Turkey. However, the remains of his grave are still on Cyprus.
Embrace the Life, it comes with the truth!
Death is not the end, it is only the beginning of what is to follow.
We struggle for life: medications, drugs, surgeries, etc. to put off the inevitable. Yet death is what starts your eternal life.
It is not the duration of your life, it is the quality of life, God's quality.
Eternal, exclusive, your life belongs to Jesus alone.
Answer the question, Its the Key.
The most important question appears in 11:26, "Do you believe?"
What you believe is how you will understand and answer His question!
