From Death to Life

Reading in John 11 where Jesus brings Lazarus back to life. Lazarus had been dead four days and the narrative indicates that Jesus was in no hurry. This was to be a sign-miracle of the choosing of the Son of God. Sometimes, I feel like a Lazarus who needs a resurrection, a rising, from having been dead for several days or, as my friend John Bunyan would have termed it, in a "slough." I think I have had hundreds of resurrections and they have all been according to God's timing. His sovereignty becomes obvious.
