God has set natural laws and automatic processes to guide nature. By instinct and by default the antelope and the ant participate in their purpose. Man is the only creature God designed to be nurtured by other humans. Man's progress is not an automatic process. God has given us a need for each other. In seeing this cocoon wrapped butterfly, we wait and watch as nature unfolds God's will. In seeing Lazarus wrapped up in a cocoon of grave clothes, Jesus said to others standing about him: "Loose him and let him go."
Is there a person in your life you have wrapped up as dead and shoved aside into a grave?
Does God bring to mind a child, friend, acquaintaince who like Lazarus, is bound?
His mind was numb in death and he could not think.
His heart was cold in death and he could not feel.
His lips were closed in death and he could not speak.
His eyes were dark in death and he could not see.
But Jesus gave him life.
Share a story of deliverance, or a prayer for release, protecting the identity of others.
