Then Jesus became explicit: "Lazarus died. And I am glad for your sakes that I wasn't there. You're about to be given new grounds for believing. Now let's go to him."

"Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people the full message of this new life."

Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold.

Meanwhile, the word of God continued to spread, and there were many new believers.

So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

John 11:14 Acts 5:20 2 Corinthians 3:12 Acts 12:24 2 Corinthians 4:16 John 13:34

The future is as bright as the promises of God.
