ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 30TH APRIL 2023.
When Jesus and His disciples were on the way to Bethany to see Martha and Mary, Lazarus had already spent four days in the grave. Many Jewish sympathizers had come to comfort Martha and Mary. On hearing that Jesus was coming, Martha went alone to meet Him and told Him that her brother died because He did not come on time.
However, she knew that He could make a difference by His presence. Jesus simply told her that Lazarus would rise again and she replied that it would be at the resurrection at the last day. Jesus told her that He is the resurrection and the life.
Anyone who believes in Him, though dead, shall live, while anyone who is alive and believes in Him shall never die. Martha agreed that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God in the flesh.<br>Are you in an unfortunate, uncomfortable, undesirable situation and people cannot help? You may have fasted, prayed, sowed seed and yet no response.
Hold on to your faith for Jesus, the resurrection power and life to all dead situations will surely come. He is never late;His presence will change your sorrow to joy, your weeping to laughter, emptiness to fullness, shame to double honor, fruitlessness to fruitfulness and hopelessness to a living hope.(Isa.61: 3, 7a).
PRAYER: Help me O God to rest in you and wait patiently in Jesus name. Amen.
