When the resurrection of Christ begins to take hold of our lives through our experience, the flesh and the devil will seek to silence the "Lazarus" within. None will be more persistent than the religious folk in our lives. Those who see the freedom and joy in our hearts will seek to kill it by saying we should live sober, reflective lives. We should not behave in a way that is contrary to the way they believe.
However, when we begin to obey Jesus in all areas of our lives, we see something remarkable begin to occur. Others who are seeking freedom are drawn to us, confounding those who think they are following God. Beloved, may we allow our inner Lazarus to break out through obedience and love for the Risen Lord!
