John 11:5, 6-" Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. SO when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days .." The word that caught my attention in this verse was "SO".... SO when he heard about Lazarus he stayed back for 2 more days!! Why did Jesus do that? Why didn't Jesus run to them? Why did he choose to stay back ? Why didn't he act immediately? I mean h e could have easily healed Lazarus on time and could have spared the sorrow and pain that Martha and Mary went through, only just if he had not delayed, just if he had been there on time! But he chose to stay back! Also he didn't even have to go there,he could have just commanded. WHY would he do that? If he loved them very much, why would he stay back and not come to their rescue,especially when they needed him the most. Even Martha is seen here asking Jesus in John 11:21 - “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus...
Passionate about God!
