Alright, thank you very much. And hello again, radio friends. How in the world are you? Trust everything’s going well with you. This is your good friend, Bob Cook. And I’m glad to be back with you to share from the Word of God. What we try to do is to put a handle on the Word of God so that you can get hold of it for yourself. God’s Word, the Bible, is forever true whether or not anyone reads or believes it, but it becomes of value to you and to me when we apply it to our lives. My task and privilege, therefore, is to put a handle on the truth so you can get hold of it and apply it. I trust that may be so, even today I’ve been praying that God would put His truth in my heart and His love in my voice and power in what’s said. And I trust Him for the answer to that prayer.

Jesus, our blessed Lord, has now arrived at the town of Bethany, this is a story in John chapter 11. Martha has come out to tell him, “Lord, you blew it, you didn’t get here on time.” Jesus points her successfully away from her grief about Lazarus to her faith in him as the resurrection and the life. She goes back, says to Mary, “You better go see him too.” Mary comes out with the same word, “Lord, you didn’t get here in time. If you’d been here, my brother wouldn’t have died.” And our Lord Jesus, wiping away the tears, his own tears, said, “Well, where have you put him?” And they said, “Come and see.” It was a cave, and there was a big stone rolled at the entrance. This was traditional in those days, they would bury them in sepulchres where the tomb was sealed with a great cylindrical stone that rolled in its own passageway across the opening to seal up the opening.

And so… Oh, by the way, the crowd had the same idea, “He should’ve gotten here in time to heal him. Could not this man who opened the eyes of the blind have caused that even Lazarus wouldn’t have died?” Verse 37 has that question in it. See, human reasoning always reasons on the way we think it might have worked. God does things differently. He says, “Behold, I will do a new thing.” God does things differently. He’s the God of divine innovation, let Him do something different in your life. Well, he said, “Take away the stone from the grave.” Martha said, “You don’t wanna do that, Lord. His body has decayed, it’d be a terrible odor. He’s been dead four days.” So Jesus said, “Now, remember what I told you outside the town. Didn’t I tell you? If you would believe, you’d see the glory of God. You better do it.” Small thought here, all of your arguing will never allow you to experience the glorious reality of God’s plans for you. As long as you’re arguing, you’re not obeying. People say to me, “I don’t have peace and I don’t have joy.” And I begin to ask them about things in their lives and I find out that they’re arguing with God about things. They’re not willing to do what He’s asking them to do, and as a result, although they’re quite sincere in their desire to know God, they’re also equally stubborn in their refusal to obey Him and, they’re arguing with Him.
