We are beginning a series entitled "The Battle Within Yourself". In part one we discuss how each of us is reactionary. In John 11 the Bible records the shortest verse in the Scripture, verse 35, "Jesus wept". When reading this one would usually think that Jesus was sorrowful for the passing of His friend, Lazarus. But when one looks a little closer you will realize Jesus wasn't really sad but rather He was angry. What would cause Jesus to be angry and such a delicate time? The reaction or response of those who claimed to be believers. Jesus was trying to d a miracle here in John 11 but He is hindered. not by the deadness of Lazarus, that's an easy fix but, Jesus is having to deal with something worse than that. UNBELIEF! Unbelief is a reaction or a response. And while you and I may struggle to believe we should never consider our limitations when we serve a God who is unlimited!
