March 3 What Shall We Do?

Read John 11: 45-58
 
John 11:47 So the Pharisees and the chief priests met with the Council and said, “What shall we do? Look at all the miracles this man is performing!”
 
“WHAT shall we do?” I want to reach back through the centuries and shake up these guys! “What shall we do?” Love him. Obey him. Experience his miracles in your life! Worship him! The Lord of Life stood before them, and they wondered “What shall we do?” How ignorant can one be?
    Oh, wait a minute. I was pretty discouraged the other day. Some circumstances occurred that surprised me, even shocked me. Those circumstances caused me to mourn over a lost relationship. I didn’t know what to do. I guess I asked the same question the Pharisees asked. I wasn’t sure what to do. My work causes me to spend a good deal of time in the Bible every day. I ponder it and respond to it. I ought to very personally know of God’s miracles, Jesus’ resurrection power and the Holy Spirit’s comfort.
    But sometimes I don’t trust these things. I don’t trust God cares enough to be involved in my situation. I think I’m in these circumstances alone.
    But I’m not. When God says, “Wake up! I’m here.” He reminds me that this work he has called me to do is about is his resurrection work throughout the world. The Holy Spirit reminds me that I need to trust God; I need to celebrate him; and surely I must worship him. In Jesus only, we will find the sure hope that all things broken will be made new again.
    The Pharisees had the Lord of Life standing before them. They wondered, “What shall we do?” because they negated all of God’s Word. Faithless, they missed him. Let’s be people of faith.
    Are you wondering, “What shall I do?” about some circumstance in your life? Look at all the miracles Jesus has done and is doing now. Cry out loud to him, “Jesus I trust you. I worship you. I love you.”
 
Resurrection Truth: worship your Lord.
