Faith for today is powerful faith. The supreme miracle in the New Testament was the raising of Lazarus from the dead.
This story from John chapter 11 provides some classic lessons in faith. When Christ arrived, Martha met Him, saying:
“If You had been here, my brother would not have died” (John 11:21).
In other words, she displayed a marvelous faith for yesterday: “If you had been here five days ago, I believe there would have been a miracle.” “If ” was her word—a favorite word for believers believing for the past.
Anything could have happened yesterday “if.” Old faith is like the old manna from yesterday described in the books of Exodus and Numbers. If they kept yesterday’s manna, it would breed worms and stink.
Faith has to be today’s faith.
