\u201cLazarus\u2019 Favorite Channel\u201d by nakedpastor David Hayward<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>I find the story of Lazarus amazing. The one detail I like most about the story is that Lazarus was raised from the dead in chapter 11. Then in 12: 10 it says that the Pharisees were trying to figure out a way to kill him. He was too great a testimony to Jesus.<\/p>\n
I mean, come on! Lazarus died once already, and there are people who want to kill him all over again. Once wasn\u2019t enough?<\/p>\n
Which reminds me of life. Just when you get back up there\u2019s always something to put you back into the ground again. This helps me be a realist. There is a lot in life that can seem to be against us.<\/p>\n
So, being me, I crawl into Lazarus\u2019 head and wonder what he imagined. I picture him sitting in an easy chair hooked up to a heart monitor. It\u2019s now his favorite station. He called it the Life Channel.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m determined to live. Aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
