John
11:2-16
Now
a man named Lazarus was sick.
He
was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2
This Mary whose brother now lay sick,
Was
the same one who poured perfume on the Lord
And
wiped His feet with her hair.
3
So the sisters sent word to Jesus,
'Lord
the one you love is sick.'
4
When He heard this, Jesus said,
'This
sickness will not end in Death.
NO,
IT IS FOR GOD'S GLORY
SO
THAT GOD'S SON MAY BE GLORIFIED THROUGH IT.'
5
Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6
Yet when He heard that Lazarus was sick,
He
stayed where He was two more days.
7
Then He said to His Disciples, 'Let us go back to Judea.'
8
'But Rabbi,' they said, 'a short while ago
The
Jews tried to stone You,
And
yet you are going back there?'
9
Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours of daylight?
A
man who walks by day will not stumble,
For
he sees by this World's light.
10
It is when he walks by night that he stumbles,
For
he has no light.'
11
After he had said this, He went on to tell them,
'Our
friend Lazarus has fallen asleep;
But
I am going there to Wake him up.'
12
His Disciples replied,
'Lord,
if he sleeps, he will get better.'
13
Jesus had been speaking of his Death,
But
his Disciples thought He meant natural sleep.
14
So then He told them plainly, 'Lazarus is Dead,
15
And for your sake I am glad I was not there,
SO
THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE.
But
let us go to him.'
16
Then Thomas (called Didymus)
Said
to the rest of the Disciples,
'LET
US ALSO GO,
THAT
WE MAY DIE WITH HIM.'
(John 11:2-16)
Today, the purpose of every
Christian's life,
Is that God may be Glorified through
it;
That many would come to Belief
In Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord.
