If Jesus really loved Lazarus, then why didn’t he immediately go to heal him when he heard he was sick? When hardship, tragedy, or even death comes into our lives, we often ask the same. It is hard to see through eyes filled with tears! But even though we cannot see how a situation will end or why it has happened to us, we can know that it flows from the love of God and is controlled by him. That is why we should always interpret his delays in the light of his love — and not the other way around.
Taken from Start! The Bible for New Believers
“Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was.”
John 11:5-6
