Jesus’ Love For You Is Absolutely Unstoppable And Unchanging!

Luke 11:1-3 NIV
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”

Jesus’ Love For You Is Absolutely
Unstoppable And Unchanging!

Jesus Loves You Even When He Delays

Luke 11:4-7 NIV
When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, and then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

Jesus Loves You In Spite Of Your Disappointment

Luke 11:17-21,32 NLT
When Jesus arrived at Bethany, he was told that Lazarus had already been in his grave for four days. Bethany was only a few miles down the road from Jerusalem, and many of the people had come to console Martha and Mary in their loss. When Martha got word that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died…When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.”

Jesus Loves you Even When You Doubt

John 11:23-28 NLT
Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.” “Yes,” Martha said, “he will rise when everyone else rises, at the last day.” Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?” “Yes, Lord,” she told him. “I have always believed you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who has come into the world from God.” Then she returned to Mary. She called Mary aside from the mourners and told her, “The Teacher is here and wants to see you.”

Jesus Loves You Even Though You Feel Disgusting

John 11:39-44 NLT
“Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”

John 3:16 NLT
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

“One bold message in the Book of Job is that you can say anything to God. Throw at him your grief, your anger, your doubt, your bitterness, your betrayal, your disappointment—he can absorb them all. As often as not, spiritual giants of the Bible are shown contending with God. They prefer to go away limping, like Jacob, rather than to shut God out…you can’t really deny your feelings or make them disappear, so you might as well express them. God can deal with every human response save one – to ignore him or treat him as though he does not exist. That response never once occurred to Job.”
― Philip Yancey, Disappointment with God

I love that Martha seems to think that Jesus is giving her a theology lesson here, but what he is trying to do is tell her what he is about to do. But, he graciously switches gears, and tries to then use it to get her to see the big picture…Question: Did Lazarus die again?

You see no miracle, no matter how it is, is ever permanent. Every person Jesus ever healed, eventually died. We doubt God when we get focused on what is surrounding us at the moment, and what Jesus is trying to get Martha to do is to look at the bigger picture…He’s pointing her to what he was about to do on the cross!

When you are doubting God the best thing you can do is go back to your salvation. That moment that you realized God loved you so much that he sent His Son to take your place. If God loves you that much, if God was willing to do that, is there anyway in the situation that you’re currently in that he is going to fail you???
