Today's reading: Numbers 26:1-22

And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
John 11:44

Christ, the Victor over death (3)
Lazarus had been dead for four days. Corruption had already set in. Nevertheless, the Lord cried out with a powerful voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" and the miracle happened. The dead man left the tomb in the power of the new life granted him. So the Lord told those standing by to free him and let him go. The graveclothes should no longer hinder his freedom to move about.
Similarly, those who have been brought from spiritual death to eternal life through Jesus Christ often have habits, ideas and inclinations from the past. Since the life of faith is a learning process, it is helpful if they have Christians with experience around them who can show understanding and help them to cast off such "graveclothes". They need to learn what true Christian liberty is and to walk by faith with firm steps.
On a later occasion, we again read of Lazarus with his two sisters, Mary and Martha. They were all at that noteworthy supper in Bethany where Martha was serving. The fragrant savour of worship filled the house by means of the anointing oil that Mary poured over the feet of Jesus. Of Lazarus, it is simply said that he "sat at the table" with Jesus. He is a living illustration of fellowship, which cannot be separated from worship and Christian service.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE DON'T!

A negative change is generally abhorred by men. Everyone craves progress. We always desire to keep ascending the ladder of success. No one wants to make a u-turn in the journey of greatness. The greatest journey whose end has the greatest significance is the journey to Heaven. This journey is only made in Jesus...More
