John 11:39
« Take away the stone » said Jesus. « But, Lord », said Martha, the sister of the dead man, « by this time, there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.
MEDITATION:
When the state of health of Lazarus began to deteriorate, his sisters sent a messenger to Jesus to tell him:
« Lord, he whom you love is sick. »
Although he loved him, Jesus did not rush to go to heal him, he went there the fourth day after his death.
At this time, the body of Lazarus smelled bad, and no one wanted to approach the sepulchre.
But when Jesus got there, he said: « Take away the stone ». And when the stone was removed, Jesus approached the body of Lazarus and resurrected him.
Some of the difficult situations corner us also. When we do not see the immediate relief of Jesus, we may believe that God abandons us!
And yet, to God, it is never late, because he is All-Powerful.
If so, Jesus did not rush to go to heal Lazarus, it is because he wanted to reveal to people the reality that: « Nothing is impossible with God. »
Thus, we have no reason to despair in some situations and to say: « it is finished ! »
Let us take away doubt and lack of trust in God from our hearts, and let Jesus come into our lives to resurrect all that, in us, is hopelessly « dead ».
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us to recognize your power in all conditions.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
