Get Out The Way

John 11:29 " As soon as she heard that she arose quickly, and came unto Him".

We are called to lead lost souls to Christ, but in this religious uprising, many believe we are to lead them to certain denominations, congregations, Pastors and yes even our own personal ministries. It seems we have begun to lift up who we are, higher than we are lifting up Jesus, and the lost can't see Him because we are in the way.  We get in the way with our agendas, We are interested in building up our own congregation more than building up the kingdom of God. Let us lead them to Christ and let God place the member in the body where it pleases Him.


In our text today we have Mary the sister of Lazarus who is dead. Now Martha just receive a revelation from Jesus as to who He is and she runs to share the news with her sister. When we come to know Jesus for ourselves we too should run tell someone, starting with our household. Now when she tells Mary the master is come and He calleth for you, Mary immeatiately rises and runs to Him. We should all run to the Lord when He calls for us. He is calling for many still this day through the gospel message which we are to share with a lost world. We are the voice that tells lost soul that the master is come and He calls for you. Now when Mary came running many in the house followed her. There are many who are following us in our journey to Jesus. You might not see them or even know them , but someone is following even you to Christ. 

Now when Mary got to Christ she fell at His feet in humble worship, all who were following her seen Jesus and not her, for she got out of the way. When we come to Christ or lead others to Christ we need to get out of the way that they might see Jesus. It is not about the church, denomination, Pastor or even the ministry, if they don't find Christ and enter into the true ark of safety, the church  or denomination they attach themselves to won't really matter. Only those in Christ will be saved so get out the way....
