Loose Him and Let Him Go!

When Lazarus walked out of his tomb, freshly raised from the dead, he was yet bound hand and foot in the grave-clothes that had been his appropriate attire while dead. But grave clothes are not appropriate attire for the living, so the Lord commanded that he be loosed and set free.

There is a great lesson for us in this: just because a man has been raised from spiritual death does not mean he will immediately be loosed from the garments of death that bound him while he was yet dead. It is the job of ministers of the gospel and every believer to gently and lovingly remove the grave clothes of those newly born again. This process can take a long time. In fact, it shall not be complete until God removes the final layer of grave clothes – this body of death called the flesh – and gives us our heavenly dwelling (resurrected body). Even though we are inwardly alive, until then, we will have much of the appearance of dead men.

So, patience is called for, with regard both to others and ourselves. We may find true brethren guilty of serious sin, yet we must not conclude, therefore, that such a one is lost. We may find our brethren still bound by traditions that are associated with spiritual death. We may even see among those death-wrappings some scraps of those rotting, filthy rags of self-righteousness.

If we were to look at a snapshot of the scene in Bethany, we might justifiably conclude that Lazarus was a dead man, for all we would see is grave clothes. But those who saw him walking and likely heard his muffled cry, “Get me out of these death-rags,” knew that, all appearances to the contrary, Lazarus was alive.
