CommentsWake Up
Hook: When someone you love dies, what thoughts journey through your mind?
Book: Mary and Martha simply asked for a healing, but Jesus wanted to reveal Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. At this wake, when the guest of honor literally woke up, it empowered others to wake up spiritually. As Jesus headed to Jerusalem to die, He gave the hope of resurrection to stir His disciples’ faith and calm their fears. The resurrection power Lazarus experienced at death is one you can enjoy daily for strength as you obey the Lord’s words.
Took: If you really believed Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life, how would it wake you up?
