john 11.
it's crazy that amidst my spiritual amnesia, that He is so gentle in reminding me of things He has already shown me, but i have forgotten.
jesus can be glorified without things going wrong - but He will often be glorified MORE when we go through the fire.
let's all seek to die. to ourselves, to the world's expectations. just die to it. so that we might gain life. true, and free life. it's not stupid to give up a small thing, namely a life controlled by my plans, to gain something MASSIVE - a part in the story of the living God.
jesus knows the odour that's behind our stones. he isn't intimidated or repelled by it. he will roll it away, and free us from the grave clothes that are still lingering.
let's bring all our friends and have a party and celebrate the one who brought us back to life - show all my friends, and point to Him, saying 'Him! He's the one!!'
