“Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard Lazarus was ill He stayed two days longer in the place where He was.” John 11:5
What?? I would have expected, “Now Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, so He quickly traveled to where they were to heal Lazarus, and spare Martha and Mary the devastation of losing their brother.”
When Jesus finally arrived, Lazarus had been dead for four days. He loved Martha and Mary so much, that when He saw Mary and those with her weeping over the death of Lazarus, He was so moved and troubled, he wept.
Going back to the beginning of the story, Jesus received a message from Martha and Mary saying, “He whom you love is ill.” John 11:3 When Jesus heard it, he told His disciples the illness would not lead to death, but is for the glory of God
Jesus loved Martha and Mary so much, that He wanted them to see God’s glory, even though they would have to experience such pain in order to see it.
Wow! I think that’s how it often is for us. We really get to know God and see His glory in tough times.
