When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."

                           -John 11:43

Good morning and Happy Monday to you. 

Called out…The phrase called out brings images too mind of betrayal of the highest order. 

Your heart automatically thinks of a close family, friend or even spouse who has presented you in a less than honorable way. 

But surely as our perceptions of their intent may not be as we understood, the same was applicable to those in the time of Lazarus. 

Some who saw the Lord walking to the place of Lazarus’ burial perceived the purpose of Christ was to mourn at the place of the burial. 

But contrary to their lack of faith, the Lord spoke and the grave, even death gave up that which it had claim over. 

Beloved as Christ called Lazarus out of the grave and deaths grip, He called you out when you accepted Him as Lord and Savior. 

That said Death and all things pertaining to death you have been called out of. Fear, despair, defeat, hate and even negativity and those who bear it is not your place. 

Those places are dark and He called us out of darkness into His light. There is no light in the grave or death. But the spark of light borne by Christ has lit a candle to guide your steps…come out and stay out! 

God bless you and command your day!!!
