Your Turn
The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." John 11:44
Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
This was the ultimate prophetic miracle. If Jesus can raise this man to life, he can raise anyone to life.
Of course, Lazarus will die again, but through the cross and resurrection death itself will be dealt a mortal blow.
Lazarus comes to life, but he comes out bound by the grave clothes.
Jesus gives to His church the authority to remove from others, that which holds them back from true freedom in Christ.
That is our responsibility and privilege.
