3: If You Had Been There…
May 1, 2022 • Kyle Brewer
Lazarus was one of Jesus’ friends. He fell sick and died before Jesus could arrive to restore him. The loss was devastating to Lazarus’ sisters, Mary and Martha. It all looked like one big mistake. If Jesus had been there, Lazarus wouldn't have died, right?. Jesus joined Mary and Martha in their pain and… he wept. If we want to know how God responds to loss, look no further than Jesus’ tears in John 11. Though Lazarus had been laying in the tomb for 4 days, Jesus does a miracle and raises him from the dead. It is a foreshadowing of what would happen to Jesus as well as what would happen for all who put their hope in him.
