It was a busy day for Jesus as usual, when suddenly the news came, "lord behold, Him that thou loveth is dead". This was Lazarus, a dear friend to Jesus and brother to Mary and Martha. Jesus spent four more days before arriving at Bethany and by now Lazarus definitely stinks.
"Oh master, only if you had come earlier, our brother would not have died",Martha said. And the Master replied" Thy brother shall rise again", this she did not comprehend but thought of a later resurrection morning.
The master groaned in His spirit, asking for the stone to be rolled away..there was confusion everywhere, a lot of natural responses in the air; He stinks ohhhh.., Is it possible?.., Epidemic break out.. And so on.
Lazarus Come Forth! and behold, Lazarus came forth and was loosed.
GOD IS NEVER LATE. He was right on time ,that The father may be glorified and Jesus proven to men. He defied the laws of nature, even when they say your situation stinks.. Tell them God is about to glorify Himself. When they say only if your God had come earlier.. Tell them, God is never late. When you are apparently dead for four days, Jesus says.. You sleep and shall rise again. Jesus will roll away the stumbling stones for you right in time.
Are you a friend of Jesus? If not, make Him your friend....
Experience John 11.
