Will you come to Jesus?
When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go." John 11:44
What if the promises of God are true?
What if Jesus is calling your name to come out of the tomb that has enveloped you?
What if Jesus is calling your name and desires for you to be unbound and for you to be free from the strip of cloth that keep you in the tomb?
What if the tomb you walk out of is meant to be the greatest moment of joy and victory that God uses to bring others to a place of faith in Jesus?
To understand the promises of God we have to understand the hope that Jesus offers to those who believe in him.
Today we celebrate All Saints Sunday and during the Prayers of the People we will hear the names of all the people who have been buried from St. Barnabas in the past year. When you hear these names, you will no doubt remember some great Saints who have been a part of our story. People God has used to draw others to Jesus and deepen the faith of those who already believed.
People who believed. People who lived by faith. People who through some of life’s greatest challenges held on to Jesus and experienced the presence of God giving them peace, hope, love, and joy through those challenges.
Many of them spoke as loud as ever even in their dying days.
What is this hope that Jesus offers that brings the power of God into life’s darkest hour?
What is this hope that Jesus offers that brings the presence of God into the deepest shadows of life?
What is this hope that Jesus offers that brings the purposes of God into the places of our greatest joy and through the places of great uncertainty and pain?
What is this hope that only Jesus offers?
Jesus calls your name today. In a powerful voice that commands the cords of sin, of shame and fear, guilt and condemnation, pain and sorrow be cut away from you, Jesus calls your name and says come out. Come to me and take off those foolish clothes and but on what only my love can bring that you would live in the fullness of who God created you to be. You might even find that the story of your tomb becomes the place of His greatest glory for you to share Jesus with others.
Where are you today? Would you hear his voice and come?
The altar is here, Jesus is calling, Will you receive today? Amen.
