Take Away the Stone!

John 11:39-43 
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”

Even after being dead for four days, nothing was too hard for God among us.  He showed God's glory by doing the impossible, bringing a quite obviously dead man back to a normal life. All so we could see and believe Him, trusting what Jesus told us is true and sent as the Messiah to die and come back to life for us.  So we can trust He will do the same for us!
