1. Believe in Him
Vs. 25 & 26
25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. 26 Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
Jesus was saying to Martha, and everyone else who would ever hear these words; believe in Me! Trust in Me! Rely on Me! Hope in Me!
Mark 5:36 (ESV)
36 But overhearing[a] what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.”
Jesus wanted him to shift his focus from fear to faith!

2. Get Angry!
Vs. 33-37
33 When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled.“Where have you put him?” he asked them.
They told him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Then Jesus wept. 36 The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much he loved him!” 37 But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t he have kept Lazarus from dying?”
First of all – Jesus wasn’t angry that Lazarus was dead. He knew this was going to happen – in fact, He told the disciples “I’m glad I wasn’t there, for your sake.”
Jesus was angry at the wickedness that had overcome the world!

Christ means – Anointed One
Christian means – like the Anointed One
Wickedness is from the antichrist kingdom – the antichrist spirit always works against the anointing. That is the target; the anointing that enables every believer to demonstrate the works of Jesus in our day.

1. Wake up the miracles!!
11 Then he said, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up.”
resurrect
· : to bring (a dead person) back to life
· : to cause (something that had ended or been forgotten or lost) to exist again, to be used again, etc.
Vs. 12-15
12 The disciples said, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will soon get better!”13 They thought Jesus meant Lazarus was simply sleeping, but Jesus meant Lazarus had died.
14 So he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. 15 And for your sakes, I’m glad I wasn’t there, for now you will really believe. Come, let’s go see him.”
43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
The name Lazarus actually means – (God is my help)
