If you have ever bounced back after a particular setback or crisis, and you don’t want to suffer a recurrent, you must be on guard, especially where your rebound has become the talk of the town and is drawing traffic to the kingdom.
While still basking in the euphoria of being raised from the dead, and people trooping from everywhere to catch a view: “Much people of the Jews…came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.” John 12:9. At that same time, “…the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus to death.” (V. 10). Again!
They wanted the guy dead for the second time!
You don’t get carried away by the testimonies of God’s doing in your life that you let down the guards. That would be perilous! “Consultation” to rid you of “it” again could have been perfected.
And for your Lazarus not to die prematurely again, he must be twice cautious!
