1 | Do Christians need to be Loosed? | John 11:44 | Robert Nicholson | 57295 | ||
I was musing on the things which bind us as Christians and prevent us from becoming all that God wants us to be. I was thinking of John 11 and the raising of Lazarus from the dead. The thoughts I am giving are in application. Lazarus is dead V.14, in a tomb and stinking. Does this not remind us of our natural state before we met Christ? Dead in sin, bond by sin and in our sin a stinking odor before God. The Lord Jesus loved Lazarus and knew of his state. Likewise, we were loved by God even when we were enemies against him and he knew us through and through. The Lord Jesus came to the tomb or came to where he was. Would this not remind us of our saviour who left the glories of heaven and came into this world to save sinners. We could not go to him, but he came to us. The one who is the resurrection and the life called the dead man by name in a loud voice. V43 Would not this reminds us of the Grace of God who spoke the words of life to us through his Spirit? The power of Christ is seen as "he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes and his face bound about with a napkin" This reminds me of those whom Christ gives new life. They are born again and yet there may be things which will affect their ability to do (the hands) or to move (the feet) or to see (the face) The command of the Lord Jesus was "Loose him, and let him go"V44 The Lord Jesus wants us to be free from the things of our old life which can bind us. In the case of Lazarus he needed help from others. Would this suggest that in our Christian walk that if we are exercised before God that he may use other brothers and sisters to assist us to be loosed? What are the things we need to be loosed from?
