PASSAGE: The Death of Lazarus, Jesus Comforts the Sisters, Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead, The Plot to Kill Jesus
MEMORY VERSE: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" -Isaiah 6:8
I know that I recently just did this verse, but I really wanted to review this again. Today, we had Wowship at King's Harbor and while they were praying for the youth pastors, I felt God really impressing this verse upon my heart. I immediately started praying what Isaiah prayed; "Here am I. Send me! Send me, send me!" I think God was convicting me to be a LIGHT unto the world--at West, at church, in my family, everywhere! I pray that He will send me to the depths of people's hearts and to the ends of the world FOR HIS KINGDOM! I LOVE, I LOVE, I LOVE YOUR PRESENCE, GOD. Let me not fear men, but fear You!
NOTES: (v.1-16) Lazarus, the brother of Mary, who poured perfume on the Lord, was sick and dying. Mary came to told Jesus, and he replied, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." Amen!
He planned to go back to Judea, and told the disciples that Lazarus has fallen asleep, and shall be woken up. But the disciples thought Jesus was talking about natural sleep, not death, so Jesus told them plainly what had happened
-(v.17-44) When Jesus had arrived, Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. Mary and Martha both said that if Jesus had been here earlier, he would not have died. But Jesus said (to Martha) that Lazarus will rise again. He then went to the tomb and wept. Jesus then told the to take away the stone to the tomb, and prayed, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
Jesus told Lazarus to come out, and the man came out with his feet and hands wrapped in linen.
-(v.45-57) Many Jews who had seen what Jesus did put their faith in him. But others went and told the Pharisees what Jesus had done, and the Pharisees began plotting to arrest and kill him.
ACT OF LOVE: I met someone sort of new today! After WOWship, there was food outside and I saw someone standing alone. I recognized him from my SAT class, so I struck up a conversation. His name is Andrew, he's homeschooled, and is planning to apply to the Naval Academy! Eventually, some other people began talking to him too.
