Under Gods Command
Jesus encounters crucial events in Jerusalem
Lazarus Becomes Sick and Dies
John 11:1-4 Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, the one you love is sick.”(4)When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory” so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”
Any trial a believer faces can ultimately bring glory to God, because God can bring good out of any bad situation. (Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28). When trouble comes, do you grumble, complain, and blame God, or do you see your problems as opportunities to honor him?
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (6) in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
