Read Our Daily Bread Devotional for Monday 29th September 2025
Topic: Christ’s Resurrection Power
Bible in a Year: Isaiah 7-8; Ephesians 2
Bible Verse: Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out. – John 11:43-44
Today’s Scripture: John 11:38-44
Insight: In John 11:1-2, Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, is sick. Yet, instead of rushing to Bethany and the home of this beloved family, Jesus “stayed where he was two more days” (v. 6). The gospel tells us He waited because He would “be glorified through it” (v. 4). God is glorified when we acknowledge His sovereignty and power and trust in Him. In our passage today, Christ tells Martha, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” (11:40). Jesus was telling her to trust and believe in Him. Soon she’d see God’s supernatural, transcendent power (His glory) displayed. Martha, Mary, the disciples, and all those gathered at the graveside witnessed the miraculous resurrection of a man dead for four days (vv. 41-44)! We too are recipients of God’s miraculous power. He gives eternal life to all who turn from their sins and follow Him. By: Alyson Kieda

Football fans were stunned when Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills collapsed on the field on live television after executing a seemingly routine tackle in January 2023. The twenty-four-year-old was in sudden cardiac arrest. His heart stopped beating but was restored by medical professionals while on the field. Amazingly, three months after dying and being resuscitated on the field, Hamlin was cleared to play football again.
Hamlin has stated that he’s grateful to God and the medical staff for saving his life. He plans to continue being an inspiration to others. In John chapter 11, Lazarus also had a remarkable recovery.
By the time Jesus had arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had been dead for four days. His distraught sisters, Mary and Martha, witnessed Jesus’ power over death and that He is “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). “Jesus called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face” (vv. 43-44).
We’re also examples of Christ’s resurrection power. We were once dead in our sins, but we’re now alive in Christ (Romans 6:1-11). As believers, the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives inside of us (8:10-11). Be encouraged. While we’ll all die a physical death, that’s not the end of our story. We’re promised eternal life with Jesus. By: Nancy Gavilanes
Reflect & Pray
How does the gift of eternal life give you hope? How does Jesus’ resurrection power encourage you?
Dear God, thank You for Your resurrection power.
