Roll Away The Stone

In John 11:1 - 44, the wonders of God manifested in the life of a man the world had given up on. The man, Lazarus, was dead for four days before Jesus came to raise him up. When Jesus got to Lazarus' grave, He commanded that the stone be rolled away, after which He called Lazarus to come forth, and the grave could no longer hold him captive.

The stone represents the hindrances to the potentials of a person. It represents limitation to progress, joy, captive, growth, abundance and many other good things. We are however glad to inform you that, the same Jesus who commanded the stone to be taken away at Lazarus' grave, is ready to liberate you because He is not only alive, He changes not. Hebrews 13:8 says "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

He is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). He is manifested to destroy the works of the devil (sadness, frustration, pain, lack and many terrible things) in your life (Acts 10:38). He has come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). What is that stubborn stone hindering your joy? With Jesus Christ, it shall be rolled away. You however need to seek His help to roll it away by inviting Him into your life as Lord and Saviour.

In John 14:6, He boldly declared that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and that no one goes through the father without passing through Him. He has paid the penalty for your sins (Romans 5:8), but you need to confess them, ask for the forgiveness of God, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. You don't have control over your life; don't the leave the decision till tomorrow. Take that bold step today and embrace eternal life.

God bless you. :)
