Setting
Possible Titles
Two Perspectives
Place -Open Word Fellowship (Community Church of Myrtle Point)
Action and Reaction
Time - Sunday Morning
Date - November 4, 2018
Scripture -
Topic - I Am the Resurrection Part 3 Two Perspectives
Text - (NIV84) “Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
Theme - All through this chapter Jesus has been trying to change the view and thinking of Hid followers and the on looker.
It is easy to see what we want it is hard to sort out God’s point of view and accept that He really does know best and if we truly follow Him we will see His glory.
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”
INTRODUCTION
Last week I was trying to learn something about using perspective in drawing.
When I went to connect the lines to the points of perspective I discovered I did not have a box but some crazy shape.
What the teacher pointed out was that the box I was trying to copy was set up on a much broader perspective line than I was trying to use.
So yes I could make a box but not the one I was trying to make because my perspective was wrong.
In scripture that also happens we want to draw straight lines to our conclusions based on what we know or think we know rather than on what God has in mind.
Jesus said from the beginning that this sickness would result in glory to God.
He never talked about healing but everyone was focused on Lazarus being healed.
God was going to do something much more powerful and far reaching.
God’s lesson was immediate and long term.
It was personal and universal.
It was for Lazarus, us and about Himself.
In short God’s perspective encompassed all they could ever thing about and a whole lot more.
So, Believe and see.

Analysis
I. V. 38- 44 Perspective Divine Intervention
11:38 Person - Jesus
Act - once more deeply moved
came to the tomb
Description - It was a cave
Specific - with a stone laid across
the entrance.
Story Line
the
entrance.
Story Line
:39 Request - "Take away the stone,"
Act - He said.
Response - "But Lord,"
Specific - said Martha, the sister of
the dead man,
dead man,
Quote - "by this time there is a bad odor,
Reason - for he has been there four days."
V.40 Time - Then
Response - Jesus said,
Question - "Did I not tell you that if you believed
you would see the glory of God?"
would see the glory of God?"
This is the significant question.
From the very beginning of this sickness and death Jesus maintained that it was all for the Glory of God.
(V. 4) This is the First Perspective
:41 Act - So they took away the stone.
Then Jesus looked up
AND
said,
Prayer - "Father, I thank You that you have heard
Me.
:42 I knew that You always hear Me.
BUT
I said this for the benefit of the people
standing here that they may believe that
You sent me."
here that they may believe that You sent me."
The prayer is not a petition but a desire for revelation.
So they may believe in the divine sending of the Son.
Here again human perspective must be changed so that the work and person of Jesus may be revealed and believed to the people.
:43 Time - When He had said this,
Act - Jesus called in a loud voice,
Quote - "Lazarus, come out!"
No muttered incantation here but rather a loud command.
It is spoken so that the people standing around could all hear.
It was spoken in a way that supposed Lazarus could hear, was awake and would respond.
It was spoken specifically so that only Lazarus would come forth
:44 Act - The dead man came out,
Specific - his hands and feet
wrapped with strips of
linen, and a cloth around
his face.
and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them,
Request - "Take off the grave cloths and let him
go."
The specificity of this account leads us to understand that 1. Jesus called Lazarus and not all those that were dead.
2. To be ready to go back to his life he needed the help of others
3.
This resurrection is a pale comparison of the resurrection of Jesus that is to come.
4. Our own resurrection will be just as unique as this one.
It to will start with a shout.
