71. He's Not Finished

John 11:25-26


Just wait. That’s the only thing I can say for some of you guys out there: Just wait. I know it’s dark, I know you’re waiting on the slightest little glimmer of sunlight to break in through the night that you’re walking through - you’re so discouraged, you’re so frustrated and confused and it seems like everything goes as horribly wrong as it possibly can at times. I know. I know that where you are can feel hopeless, but hear me on this: it’s not hopeless. You see, if you know Jesus, you have hope. You may not have anything else in this world, but you have hope. You may not have a loving and supportive environment, you may not have a voice in your life, you may not have the power to change the hard things going down right now, you may not have any money, you may not have any prospects for change whatsoever, but you have hope. One time two sisters lost their brother to a terminal illness. They had specifically asked Jesus to heal Him and Jesus didn’t even bother to show up. (Some of you know how that feels) After their brother had been dead four days, Jesus finally came into town and one of the sisters went off on Him, saying, “If you had been here, my brother would not have died!” Jesus said anyone who knows Him would never really die and then He raised the brother from the dead! Jesus isn’t finished with your story yet. Don’t change the channel before He gets to the finale, because it’s worth the wait! He’s not through yet; and in the end, He’s going to blow you away. Trust me: where ever you are, just wait.
