We often
underestimate the fact that what we endure (hardships, diseases, heartbreak) often
draws others to Christ. John said, “Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out
that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus,
whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests made plans to kill
Lazarus as well, for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to
Jesus and putting their faith in him” (John 12:9-11 NIV). Lazarus himself didn’t
do a single thing. He simply died and was resurrected. It should give us pause
to think that people might come to Jesus, not because of what we’ve done, but on
account of what has happened to us in life.
