Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."Martha
answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last
day." Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who
believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26 and whoever lives and
believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Lord," she
told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to
come into the world."(John 11:23-27 ) NIV
Even Now- already, presently, before expected time
Martha
thought that God could only raise her brother on the last day, but
Jesus announced to Martha that "I am the Resurrection and the Life"
meaning I am here right now I can raise him before the time you
expected.
Whenever we face difficult circumstances we may be
tempted to believe that things will always remain that way; Jesus
reminds Martha that even though her brother is dead ; Even Now He can restore life to Lazarus. Beloved you may be feeling helpless, hopeless, disappointed, or discouraged but Even Now God can revive your joy, Even Now God can fulfill He promise, Even Now God can make the impossible possible, Even Now God can change your life for the better.
Beloved, Even Now let us release our faith and expectation to the God who is a very present help to us.
"Now faith is the substance of things hope for..."( Heb 11:1)
