“Removing the barriers”

But when the kindness and love of God our
Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of
righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us
through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,6
whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our
Savior (Titus 3:4-6 NIV)
John 11:39-44 ~ "Take away the
stone," he said. "But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the
dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four
days." Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you
would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. Then Jesus
looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42I
knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people
standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." When he had said
this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man
came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around
his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let
him go."
