The Lord was standing at the open grave of Lazarus…it had been four days since he had died, but that didn’t deter Jesus. In a loud voice He had called out, “Lazarus, come out!”
And out he walked – slowly, awkwardly, still covered with the burial shroud. Many times this happens to new Believers…Jesus calls them from death unto life, but they’re still bound up by “things” of the world…things such as addictions, and thus can’t be totally free. But Jesus desires that we all be free from the hindrances that bind us to the past…He wants us also to be loosed from our grave-clothes.
