The Greatest Comebacks in the Bible

Spread the love

Luke 18:33 “And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.”

It is in the Bible where you can read some of the greatest comebacks in human history. First was Joseph, who being abandoned in prison in Egypt, would be exalted to the right of the Pharaoh! That is a pretty impressive comeback. Second is Moses being chosen to be God’s leader after running from Egypt having killed an Egyptian and spending 40 years in the wilderness. Third is Manasseh, a wicked king who turns to God in his darkest hour and is restored and ends up in the family lineage of Jesus.

And what about Daniel, thrown into the lion’s den or his friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego being thrown into the fiery furnace? We could also speak of Lazarus or even Peter who after denying the Lord didn’t feel that anything but being a fisherman was his lot in life… but God had a different plan for him! Then there is Paul & Silas in Jail with no way out until God makes a way.

The Bible is full of such stories of people who were down, getting back up because God had a different plan! And the greatest comeback of them all is the verse above by our Lord Jesus when both the Romans and Jews thought He had been dead but is very alive! That’s why don’t dwell on your fall back right now no matter how deep it is. Our Lord can give us the greatest comeback.
