This miracle is raising Jesus\u2019 friend Lazarus from the dead.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, because of its length, we will split this event into two episodes, focusing on the first part of the event in this episode, specifically when Jesus hears the news that Lazarus is sick.<\/p>\r\n<p>Let\u2019s read the opening to this event, and discover some amazing things in how Jesus responds to the news of His friend\u2019s sickness. Our passage for this episode is found in John\u2019s gospel, chapter 11, and we will read it from the Contemporary English Version of the Bible. Starting in verse 1, John tells us that:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>1-2\u00a0<\/sup>A man by the name of Lazarus was sick in the village of Bethany. He had two sisters, Mary and Martha. This was the same Mary who later poured perfume on the Lord\u2019s head and wiped his feet with her hair.\u00a0<sup>3\u00a0<\/sup>The sisters sent a message to the Lord and told him that his good friend Lazarus was sick.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>4\u00a0<\/sup>When Jesus heard this, he said, \u201cHis sickness won\u2019t end in death. It will bring glory to God and his Son.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>5\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus loved Martha and her sister and brother.\u00a0<sup>6\u00a0<\/sup>But he stayed where he was for two more days.\u00a0<sup>7\u00a0<\/sup>Then he said to his disciples, \u201cNow we will go back to Judea.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>8\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cTeacher,\u201d they said, \u201cthe people there want to stone you to death! Why do you want to go back?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>9\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus answered, \u201cAren\u2019t there twelve hours in each day? If you walk during the day, you will have light from the sun, and you won\u2019t stumble.\u00a0<sup>10\u00a0<\/sup>But if you walk during the night, you will stumble, because you don\u2019t have any light.\u201d\u00a0<sup>11\u00a0<\/sup>Then he told them, \u201cOur friend Lazarus is asleep, and I am going there to wake him up.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>12\u00a0<\/sup>They replied, \u201cLord, if he is asleep, he will get better.\u201d\u00a0<sup>13\u00a0<\/sup>Jesus really meant that Lazarus was dead, but they thought he was talking only about sleep.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>14\u00a0<\/sup>Then Jesus told them plainly, \u201cLazarus is dead!\u00a0<sup>15\u00a0<\/sup>I am glad that I wasn\u2019t there, because now you will have a chance to put your faith in me. Let\u2019s go to him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><sup>16\u00a0<\/sup>Thomas, whose nickname was \u201cTwin,\u201d said to the other disciples, \u201cCome on. Let\u2019s go, so we can die with him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Let\u2019s stop reading here, and save the rest of this event for our next episode.<\/p>\r\n<p>While it is very tempting to race forward to focus in on the miracle portion of this passage, a detail in the first portion of our event is worth paying attention to, because it may explain why God doesn\u2019t race in and act immediately when we ask.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the first portion of our event, specifically in verse 4, after hearing the news of Lazarus\u2019 sickness, Jesus responds that: \u201c<strong>His sickness won\u2019t end in death. It will bring glory to God and his Son.<\/strong>\u201d All too often, when we think of the bad that happens to us or the bad that happens around us living in this sinful world, we are quick to judge God for letting it happen, or rationalize that since it happened, He must not exist.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, in Jesus\u2019 words, we discover two huge promises. First, the sickness will not end in death. We could expand this truth to say that <strong>sin will not conquer or defeat God\u2019s people. Another way of saying this is that God\u2019s people will outlive and outlast both sin and death.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The second huge promise is that <strong>this sickness will result in glory being given to God and His Son.<\/strong> While this sounds completely backward, what if all the bad that is happening in the world today was an opportunity to bring glory to God and His Son? While I don\u2019t believe for an instant that God wished sin, pain, disease, or death to be present in His perfect creation, what if all the evil present gives God and His people the opportunity to help others?<\/p>\r\n<p>If everything was perfect in our world, there would be no need for anyone to help another, there would be no reason for us to need a Savior, and we as a race would become unbelievably prideful and arrogant \u2013 significantly more extreme than we are right now. <strong>If humanity never sinned, Jesus would not have needed to come and face the cross, and Jesus alludes or suggests that the cross was where He would receive glory.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>In contrast, in order for Jesus\u2019 response when hearing the news about Lazarus\u2019 sickness to be true, we must understand that Jesus has something bigger in mind. Jesus promised that this sickness wouldn\u2019t end in death, and that it would give glory to God and His Son.<\/p>\r\n<p>Without both parts of Jesus\u2019 reply, we are left wondering about what happened next. If Jesus had only promised that Lazarus\u2019 sickness wouldn\u2019t end in death, there would be little reason for Jesus to go help Him. It would be similar to other miracles where Jesus promised people from a distance that their loved one would get well.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, if we only had the second part of this reply, we might also be surprised at what happened next. If this sickness would ultimately result in God and His Son receiving glory, then it makes little sense for Jesus to stay where He was for two more days.<\/p>\r\n<p>Looking at how Jesus responded to the messenger, and then what He did following this, I wonder if the disciples believed Jesus\u2019 words to the messenger to be similar to Jesus\u2019 words to the centurion, to the father of the dying child, and to other miracles where the one asking for a miracle was willing to accept Jesus\u2019 promise of healing from a distance. On the surface, Jesus\u2019 response sounds like a similar promise.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, one of the biggest challenges I see being laid in this opening to this event is within Jesus\u2019 reply. Jesus told the messenger that Lazarus\u2019 sickness would not end in death, and then two days later, Jesus admits to His disciples that Lazarus was in fact dead.<\/p>\r\n<p>This challenge is similar to what many people face today. <strong>We read about all the miracles and promises God gives us in the Bible, then we pray for God\u2019s help and for a miracle in our own situation, and after praying this, often it can feel as though God ignores our request.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>It is like the messenger racing back to Bethany after finding Jesus with the promise that Lazarus\u2019 sickness wouldn\u2019t end in death, but then less than 48 hours later, Lazarus dies. On the surface, this looks like a huge fail for Jesus and His promises. This looks like Jesus broke a promise. I suspect that Mary, Martha, and those present in Bethany had similar feelings of loss, of disappointment, and of doubt towards God when Lazarus stopped breathing.<\/p>\r\n<p>However, Jesus\u2019 promise still stands. Jesus saw this event in a larger way than this immediate sickness finishing Lazarus off for good. Instead, Jesus never promised that Lazarus\u2019 sickness wouldn\u2019t temporarily take Him through death. Instead, Jesus actually refers to the death Lazarus experienced as sleep, which makes this contrast even more evident. It is only when the disciples don\u2019t understand Jesus\u2019 metaphor that He spoke plainly to them about Lazarus\u2019 death.<\/p>\r\n<p>In a similar way, when we experience pain, loss, or even death,<strong> we might feel as though God\u2019s promises have failed us. However, Jesus sees one or more steps past the immediate pain, because Jesus sees the step past our sleep-death and He sees the resurrection He will bring to all of His people when He returns.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>While the disciples show virtually no faith in Jesus during this opening of the event, the opening of this event sets the stage for what would be seen as one of Jesus\u2019 greatest miracles in His entire ministry, and a miracle that foreshadows the resurrection that all of God\u2019s people can look forward to when Jesus returns!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As we come to the end of another podcast episode, here are the challenges I will leave you with:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>As I always challenge you to do, seek God first in your life, and choose to place your faith, your hope, your trust, and your belief in Jesus even when our immediate circumstances don\u2019t seem like God\u2019s promises are coming true. God sees history with a much bigger perspective than we ever could, and the situation we are facing might be like the opening of our event in this episode. However, remember that Jesus sees one or more steps past our immediate situation, and He has promised to give God the glory for what ultimately happens.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Also, even though it is hard to do when facing trials, continue praying and studying the Bible for yourself with the goal of purposefully growing closer to God and Jesus while facing trials. Often God walks with us through the trials instead of taking the trial away, and while it is not pleasant to think about, sometimes trials are God\u2019s way of reminding us that we need Him in our lives.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>However, trials have an end, and because of this, I end every set of challenges by saying in one way or another, never stop short of, back away from, chicken out of, or give up on where God wants to lead you to in your life with Him!<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>\r\nYear in John &#8211; Episode 25: After Jesus promised a messenger that Lazarus&#8217; sickness wouldn&#8217;t end in death, we read that Lazarus actually died two days later.
