The Gospel offers true deliverance from the power of death. The Lord Jesus is the only one who can deliver the sinner from the power of death. We read in the scriptures of Jesus raising the dead to life, and this wonderful Saviuor who laid down his life for sinners at Calvary’s cross for you. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, defeating the power of sin and death.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Luke 7:11-17 “11 And it came to pass afterwards he went into a city called Nain, and many of his disciples and a great crowd went with him.12 And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow, and a very considerable crowd of the city [was] with her.13 And the Lord, seeing her, was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not;14 and coming up he touched the bier, and the bearers stopped. And he said, Youth, I say to thee, Wake up.
15 And the dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.16 And fear seized on all, and they glorified God, saying, A great prophet has been raised up amongst us; and God has visited his people.17 And this report went out in all Judaea concerning him, and in all the surrounding country.”
John 11:1-2 “11 Now there was a certain [man] sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.2 It was [the] Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.”
John 11:17 “17 Jesus therefore [on] arriving found him to have been four days already in the tomb.”
John 11:33-44 “33 Jesus therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit, and was troubled,34 and said, Where have ye put him? They say to him, Lord, come and see.35 Jesus wept.36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him!37 And some of them said, Could not this [man], who has opened the eyes of the blind [man], have caused that this [man] also should not have died?
38 Jesus therefore, again deeply moved in himself, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.39 Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he stinks already, for he is four days [there].40 Jesus says to her, Did I not say to thee, that if thou shouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?41 They took therefore the stone away. And Jesus lifted up his eyes on high and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me;42 but I knew that thou always hearest me; but on account of the crowd who stand around I have said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.43 And having said this, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.44 And the dead came forth, bound feet and hands with graveclothes, and his face was bound round with a handkerchief. Jesus says to them, Loose him and let him go.”
