Scripture (1598)
  1. We can see this as a foreshadowing of how the LORD always comes to His people—the people do not come to Him. So, it is God who sent His Son to us, His Promised One, up close and personal.
  2. But it is not always helpful to create tidy categories of good and bad and to say, “Stop being ‘a Martha’ and do a better job of being ‘a Mary.’” That is a dangerous sermon to preach. In doing so, we can fall into the very thing we see Martha doing.
  3. What might be a unique challenge of this text is how our preaching of it might itself resonate with its mystery. It goes to a broader question: How can we retain a sense of the “mysterious” in our preaching of mysterious texts?
  4. Lazarus, come forth. Jesus is going to die for you.
  5. Go up you bald head!
  6. [Because] of the relationship of presence the LORD has with His people, His holiness ‘gets on them,’ and, as a result, this is what their life now looks like because the holy LORD is their God.
  7. Paul is giving thanks for the reality that the gospel grows just as much in the little places as it does in the centers of power.
  8. The parable of the Good Samaritan is both a call to faith in Jesus and a call to love our neighbor.
  9. Following Jesus, we gimp our way down the dark and slippery paths of life. As we do, we discover, ironically, that the longer we follow him, the weaker we become, and the more we lean on our Lord.
  10. Jesus goes to wake up His friend.
