When God Turns It Around: Hope for Hard TimesSample

LAZARUS—FROM DEATH TO LIFE

Lazarus was dead for four days. His sisters, Mary and Martha, were heartbroken. They had asked Jesus to come, but He delayed. By the time He arrived, it seemed too late. Death had won.

But Jesus wasn’t late. He wept with Mary and Martha. Then He spoke life into Lazarus’ tomb. Lazarus came out—alive.

Jesus showed that He has power over death itself.

This miracle points to a bigger truth. Jesus didn’t just come to make bad people good. He came to make dead people alive. The dead in sin are made alive through Him. Through His own death and resurrection, He conquered sin and death forever.

Whatever feels dead in your life—your dreams, your faith, your relationships—Jesus has the power to bring life again.

You might feel like it’s too late for a turnaround. But with Jesus, it never is. The One who raised Lazarus is still working today.
