Nothing to Lose

In John 12:10, the apostle recalls that "the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death also," when they saw that the crowd came to see Jesus and Lazarus, who Jesus raised from the dead. Lazarus had nothing to lose; he was not afraid of the chief priests' plan to kill him because he had already seen death. When the enemy threatens us with all of the frightening things that he could do to us, and life threatens to take us to our lowest point, we must remember the great and might works that God has already done for us, and refer back to the unchanging faithfulness of God.
