Come to Life
Come to Life
"Lazarus, come out." John 11:43
When Jesus invites you to come, His invitation is instantly empowering. The full force of the resurrection is available when God says come.
When Jesus stood outside the empty tomb of the dead corpse of His friend, Lazarus, it became a showdown. Jesus called to Lazarus. Life called to death, “Lazarus, come out.” Despite being dead for four days, the record shows, “The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go.’” (John 11:44). What an illustration of the life-transforming power of Christ when He says, “Come.”
When Christ invites you to come, His call brings with the invitation life-giving power. Activation. Death-defying, life-transforming power. No matter where you need resurrection in your life today, Christ is calling you to come. Walk out of death into life, in Jesus’ Name.
Lord Jesus, I hear your call to come. Today I step in and take You as my Resurrection and my Life.
