Bound up or Bound for Greatness?

Listen
Lazarus was brought back to life. Have we been brought back to life? Jesus tells Martha and to us that He is the, "resurrection and the life." All too often, however, we find ourselves enslaved to our own sin. Maybe we've had a near death experience in our lives, but maybe our whole life is one big near death experience. We find ourselves dead in the water, bound to sin. Like Lazarus, we find ourselves deep within a cave of fears bound by sin and not even knowing it. But Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and He wants to bring us back to life. When we acknowledge our sin, turn away from sin we can then be bound by something much different--GREATNESS!
