GOD'S TIMING
GOD'S TIMING
John 11:5-6; 17
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.
...
So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb FOUR days.
+++++++++
Why did Jesus wait 2 days before He went to Lazarus? If He had went immediately, Lazarus would still have been dead 2 days! Seemingly there was nothing Jesus could do! But, wait!
There was a current belief that a person's spirit lingered around the body for 3 days hoping to reenter. If Jesus had gone immediately and raised Lazarus after 2 days, people would not have believed Him. They would have said he was just in a coma or something!
But after 4 days there was no question. Jesus raised Lazarus from death.
Remember this when it seems God is not answering your prayers. His timing is perfect!
