John 11:40-44

John 11:40-44

  When a kid at a park yells for mom, every single mother in the area looks up, wondering if it is there kid that is in need.  The word 'Mom' doesn't distinguish between all the different moms that are there -- they're all programmed to respond to a child in need.
  Whenever I read this voice, I think about how Jesus is very specific when he yells in the graveyard.  Had Jesus not, then every dead soul in that graveyard might've wandered out, creating a scene of chaos as Lazarus was one among many.  Such is the power of Jesus over death!  He is the one who unbinds us, who releases us from the things that hold us, who sets us free so that our future might not be determined by the forces opposing us.
