A Heart Message

A Heart Message

When Jesus approached the tomb of Lazarus and said, “Roll away the stone.” Martha must have clutched His arm and whispered, “It is too late Master, his body decayeth.”
Jesus turned and looked into her face saying, “Martha, said I not unto thee, if thou believed, thou should see the glory of God.” The stone had been rolled away.
He stepped to the mouth of the tomb with divine assurance. He had no sense of faith, or lack of it.
He illustrated unconscious righteousness.
He revealed what righteousness really is.
I have gone back in my dream life and stood by the side of the Master when He shouted, “Lazarus, come forth!” My heart trembled and I whispered, “Master, why did you speak so loudly?”
You see I feared that Lazarus would not come forth. I feared for the reputation of the Master.
What would the people think if He did not come forth? These fearful thoughts, born of sense knowledge, were disrupted, for righteousness had spoken and Lazarus came forth.
The Incarnation was the union of Deity and humanity in the Babe of Bethlehem.
It was Love’s intrusion into the realm of selfishness. The long-anticipated had at last arrived.
God was united with humanity.
The intrusion was not with an army… it was in the form of a dainty Babe.
It was like love, a helpless thing.
They called His Name Jesus.
That Name has filled the ages with songs and melodies.
It has brought courage to the defeated; liberty to the slave: strength to the weak; healing to the sick; and Eternal Life to the world.
That Babe who gave Mary her first great joy in that little town of Bethlehem, restored to woman the crown that she lost in the Garden of Eden.
She was man’s help-meet, she became his slave after the Fall.
Jesus gave her hope, and equality, and made her the queen of the heart of the New Creation.
