Section 18
resurrection power, that church will see res urrection life. The Lord today is still waiting for an opportunity to express His resurrection power, but it is difficult for Him to obtain the submission, cooperation, and coordination. As leaders in the local churches, we may be busy praying and asking the Lord to do things accord ing to our opinion. We have to drop our opin ions, submit every opinion for His consideration, and cooperate with Him. When He asks you to remove the stone, remove it. When He tells you to do a certain thing, do it. Then you will see resurrection life. You will see resurrection power. This is a part of the revelation of John 11. Most people have only seen the story of Lazarus being raised up from the dead. They have not seen the revelation in this chapter, which is that outside of religion, in the local churches, the frustration to Christ as life comes from our human opinions.
THE ACTUAL CHANGING
OF DEATH INTO LIFE
To resurrect the dead actually is to change death into life. The significance of this case is the same as that of the sign of changing water into wine (John 2). As Mary's opinion in that
sign frustrated the Lord's changing of water into wine, so Martha's opinion in this case frustrated the Lord's resurrection power. When Martha's opinion was subdued, the Lord's resurrection power prevailed.
