41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. 45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done (John 11:41-46).
If there is ever is a time that you feel that worries or fears will overtake you, remember that our Lord has power even over death. Christ is the Creator that called the Universe into existence, and He is sovereign as Lord. When we, through faith, believe on Christ, we have passed from death to life. This life is a life in which Christ Himself eternally protects us. This eternal protection is a promise of God. A promise of God is the only sure thing in this world. Notice too that our faith is not just by what is seen, as some that witnessed Lazurus being raised from the dead did not believe that Christ is God. And so the true miracle of the ages is the raising of the heart from the grips of sin and death. This is the miracle of the new birth in Christ.
