While reading the passage about Lazarus, Mary and Martha in John 11, the thought came to me . Is God an on-time God all the time? A lot of times we all can feel discouraged or even hopeless. We turn our eyes to our Lord wanting for His full redemption. Like Mary and Martha we sometimes ask, "Where are you and why aren't you here? When will you answer?" This kind of thinking often brings disillusionment and discouragement. It seems our faith has "borders" and our understanding has limits! Martha understood Lazarus would rise again in the resurrection in the last day. But she couldn't comprehend by faith that THE resurrection and THE life NOW was standing right in front of her! Lazarus' sisters thought Jesus was late in coming to help their brother. However God is never late in anything! So "take heart and believe." God's promises and purposes WILL come to pass according to His plan and timing! "From Age to Age He Stands And Time is in His Hands The Beginning and the End..." (Tomlin)
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t
