John 11:9-11

Jesus has the power of life and death in His hands.....He can raise you from the deadness of sin and bring you into the light of the world. He can speak but a word and your soul will be cleansed. Choose life :)

By the time that Jesus arrived Lazarus had been in the tomb for 4 days....his body would have started to decompose....Jesus can take those dead parts and fill them with abundant life. Martha believed and knew that nothing that Jesus asked of His Father would be denied him for He and the Father were one. Miracles happen when we trust in Him! Just believe :)

God’s purpose was to glorify His Son and to cause the disciples to grow. Had Jesus immediately rushed to Lazarus’s bedside and healed him, Lazarus would not have died and Jesus would not have been able to manifest His glory by raising Lazarus. God’s timing to accomplish His purpose is perfect.

John 11:9-11

⁹ Jesus answered,  “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. ¹⁰ But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” ¹¹ These things He said, and after that He said to them,  “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”
