The Omniscient God
The Beginning and the end… First and Last… Alpha and Omega…
The Omnipotent God
He is the God who formed the foundations of the world with the words of His mouth.
From the breath of His nostrils were the stars cast forth and hung in their place.
This God moves and Angels stand at attention.
When He speaks, creation springs forth…
He is awesome..
He is powerful… He is unparalleled… He is unprecedented..
He has no rival… He is not challenged…
He is all powerful… He is all knowing…
Omnipotence + Omniscience = the perfect finisher
God the Finisher
Our Text:
Context:
Jesus has been teaching and doing miracles.
He receives word that Lazarus is sick… but says:
This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God.
He waits two more days before telling the disciples,
Lazarus has fallen asleep… He is dead.
I am glad for your sake I was not there so you may believe…
When He gets there, Martha comes running out to Him, but Mary stayed in the house.
Does your doctrine distort your perspective?
I know the resurrection... Jesus says I AM the resurrection!
You know religion, but you’re missing the point!
“I go to church every Sunday” but you’re missing the fact that you ARE the church!!
“Well I read the Bible” but you’re missing the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us!!! Do you know HIM!?!?
Don’t let your religion get in the way of your relationship with Jesus...
What happens when the assumptions about what church should look like that are in no way reflected in scripture?
Carona & the Church building… The synagogs belonged to the Jews.
Get out of what you think Church is supposed to look like!
Wednesday night… What does revival look like?
Martha’s religion blinded her perspective.
How many answers have you missed because it doesn’t look like you expected?
Jesus didn’t look like they expected…
Martha tells Mary that Jesus is calling for her and Mary comes to Jesus.
At this point we find out why she was still in the house…
She blamed Jesus!
After all, He sent a word to the centurion’s servant and healed him.
Why could He not do the same thing for Lazarus?
Have you ever felt that way?
God, you did it for the early church, why are you not doing it now?
God, you healed the sick, open blinded eyes, and cleansed the leper, so why did she still die of cancer?
God, if you’re all powerful why won’t you stop the abuse in the world?
If you had been here, my brother would not have died!!!
Look at Jesus’ response:
2.
You are not alone...
Jesus is deeply moved…
He is touched by the feeling of our infirmity…
In v. 35, JESUS WEEPS…
He is moved by their grief.
He is moved by your brokenness
He is moved by your pain…
He stands in the midst of the journey with you…
He has instructed us to stand together as one Body…
We are to be one body, unified in joy but also unified in grief.
Let’s get to business...
Where have you laid him?
Lazarus was dead, mourning and sorrow abounded, but you have to get through death to experience resurrection.
That’s why the same power that raised Jesus from the dead can reside in you because the same resurrection power that went through Jesus is the power that resurrected you.
We have been buried with Christ... (through death experience)
That’s why you can’t scare me...
that’s why I refuse to worry...
That’s why i’ve got peace in the midst of the storm
Peace that passes understanding....
I’ve already died!
Maybe the reason you stress about everything happening in the news is because you haven’t died!
You love your life too much to lay it down and die to yourself...
if you haven’t laid it all down, you’re not saved!
It’s time for you to get saved!!
Lay it all down.
You’re not saved because you go to church or because your parents are Christian.
You’re not saved because you volunteer at the food bank.
You’re saved when you lay down your life at the feet of Jesus, giving it all up!
Lay it all down.
All your struggles,
all your imperfections,
all your doubts and fears,
all you hate and all you love!!
Cast your cares on Him!
Resurrection power will revive what was dead in you, but first you must die!
Die to your self,
Die to your desires
Die to your passions
The only way to experience resurrection is through death!
Mid stream call for salvation…
Where have you laid him?…
Lazarus death is a preview… Stone and all…
Remove the stone… I’ve heard enough… I’ve cried enough… I’ve waited long enough… Remove the stone.
Four days… He’s not asleep… He’s not just swooning… He’s so dead he’s smelling…
We are past the point of no return… We are past healing at this stage…
Lazarus is gone!
All hope is lost!
But Jesus shows up on the scene…
Did I not tell you?
Have I not already declared?
Is there anything too hard for me?
If I set it in motion, who can stop my plan?
I’m a good starter.
I like to begin things, but I have a hard time finishing…
