Lazarus out come from breath suppression
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to him, “Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you for hearing me. I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me.” And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, “Untie him and let him go.” John 11:39-44
I say to the LORD, you are my Lord, you are my only good. Psalm 16:2
He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 1 Pt 1:2021
John 11:39-44, Psalm 16 & 1 Peter 1:20-21
Though perturbed Jesus’ focus turns to raising Lazarus as they approach the tomb Jesus asks them to roll the stone away. You can imagine what the scene must have played out as when people began to baulk at the stone being pulled away from a man’s cave of resting death who was laid in repose four days prior. Martha was so concerned about the stench as Jesus reminded her to simply believe. This anxiety just made Jesus ask, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
Unafraid of this stench as much as failing, Jesus looking to the Heavens asked his Father as he teaches to live in God First. I can only imagine his voice as he commands Lazarus to come out. Was it a booming sound shaking the earth to its core? Or was it the calm voice of affection inexplicably bringing a man dead back to life four days after he died. The rigor mortis that sets in would have made him as hard as a rock and even the decay would have made him unbearably smelly. Wrapped in a cloth from head to toe Lazarus couldn’t utter a word until Jesus said untie him let him go.
You too probably have to be untied from things in your life that seem to be too attached to you like cans behind a car for a wedding couple they hold on and hold on bang each bang until they finally come off when you believe God is the Savior of all making you understand that there is only good or should I say you can only obtain the good by saying, “Jesus is my Lord.” This foundational aspect of God and his miracles through his son Jesus will feed a love, faith and hope of everything His Charity erases from your past. Let God take away the stone no matter the stench and you too will become obedient like a wrench that holds on without a flinch. Amen.
Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.

Lazarus out come from breath suppression
Stone away take said Jesus perturbed
Martha worried of the stench absurd
Days four he has laid undisturbed
God’s glory see Jesus replied believe not deferred
Stone away taken eyes raised to heaven
Jesus thanks God First asking to show belief
Voice loud cries Lazarus’ out come from breath suppression
Out came man dead sought bands burial cloth relief
Saying Jesus go untie him those who had disbelief
