In John 11, we often celebrate the resurrection of Lazarus as if THAT is the pinnacle of the story. I submit that the miracle of Lazarus’s resurrection isn’t even the point of the story. He was under the command of Jesus, his creator. OF COURSE, he was going to come back to life! The point is what happened after he was raised. He came out wrapped in grave clothes. And Jesus commanded those standing by to unwrap his grave clothes so he could walk free. We can be raised to new life and still be in bondage until those nearby are willing to touch (and unwrap) our grave clothes. In what ways can worship ministry unwrap the grave clothes of those whom we serve?
