When Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was … John 11:6
The funeral service had been over for 4 days when Jesus finally walked into town. Martha was blunt. “If You had been here,” she said,“my brother would not have died” (v.21). Then her faith flickered into certainty, “Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You” (v.22). I wonder what she expected. Lazarus was dead, and she was wary about opening the tomb. And yet at a word from Jesus, Lazarus’ spirit returned to his decaying body. Jesus had bypassed simply healing His sick friend, in order to perform the far greater miracle of bringing him back to life.
Waiting for God’s timing may also give us a greater miracle than we had hoped for! … Leroy
