Lord of Hopeless Causes

Lord of Hopeless Causes


Jesus arrived in Bethany. Jesus found that Lazarus had
already been dead and in the tomb for four days. Bethany was
about two miles from Jerusalem. Many Jews had come to Martha
and Mary. They came to comfort them about their brother
{Lazarus}.

-- John 11:17-19 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
Did you ever notice that Jesus is the Lord of hopeless causes? Can you
think of a funeral he attended that he didn't "ruin" by raising the
dead person to life? Remember the time he provided a picnic for 5,000
from one boy's "sardine sandwiches"? Do you recall how he about sank
the futile fisherman's boat with fish? Wasn't it amazing when he saved
the terrified sailors by calming the seas they feared would sink them?
So in what area of your life do you find yourself hopeless? Have you
ever just admitted that you are powerless to face it and invited him
in? It might be a bumpy ride, but he is still the Lord of hopeless
causes! Cry out and ask for his help. Admit your need for his help
right now. Then go share that admission and ask for prayer and
accountability from another brother or sister in Christ. I believe you
will discover that he can put the hope back in your cause!
