Take Away The Stone
Series: In Person
Jason Pagel, preaching
Jesus is God in person. He is also God in real time. He stands in our present, not just far off in our future. When Jesus tells Martha that her brother will rise again, she assumes that he is comforting her with visions of farther along. She learned that day that with Jesus, good news isn’t just future tense; it is present day. Resurrection and life are not just promises hoped for; they are real time experiences lived in person. Imagine a conversation between Nicodemus and Lazarus. One wondered how someone could possibly be born again; the other walked out of a tomb after four days.
