Open Doors: Conversations with Heart of the Father
Reflecting on John 11:17-44, Matt Lozano is joined in this episode by Nick Jorgenson from Acts XXIX Ministries.
"So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.'" John 11:41-42 NIV.
Jesus is God speaking human. He chooses to speak with us through the humanity of His Son, Jesus Christ.
Like the tomb of Lazarus, we have parts of ourselves that we shrink away from, things in our life that we want to hide from Jesus. But it is in our darkest place, our vulnerable moments, that the Gospel holds the most truth.
As He did for Lazarus, He longs to call your name. In calling YOUR name from YOUR tomb, He's saying that He knows you. He knows all of you. He desires you. He desires ALL of you.
He says, "Dead man come out!"
We all have access to the Father. God always hears us! He rejoices in our triumphs and weeps for our sorrows.
What is the Good News for you today?
