Pray Over This

“Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. Now Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’ Martha said to Him, ‘I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.’”
John 11:20-27

Ponder This

What do the sociologist, the psychologist, and the psychiatrist say that people need today? They say people need an example, encouragement, environment, and education. We’re spending billions of dollars on those things.

Now, suppose we’re trying to raise a dead man. How are we going to raise that dead man? I’ll tell you one way we could try to raise that dead man: We could try giving him an example. I could get a friend over here and say, “Bobby, I’ve got a dead man, come show him how a live man lives. Do fifty push-ups. Could you do that?” So, here’s Bobby down here showing this man the strength and energy he has. Do you think an example is going to raise a dead man? Certainly not. What are we going to do? We are going to encourage him. I say, “Hey, man, you can do it.” Am I going to encourage a dead man to life? Surely not. You see, Jesus is the only answer to Man’s death. Only He can give eternal life. We can try and find all the answers, but we will never find a true answer outside of Him.
