Under Gods Command
Jesus encounters crucial events in Jerusalem
Lazarus Becomes Sick and Dies

John 11:5-7 Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days. Then he said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.” “But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews tired to stone you, and yet you are going back there?” Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world’s light. It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light.”

Day symbolizes the knowledge of God’s will and reliance on his guidance, and night the absence of this knowledge combined with self-reliance. When we move ahead in darkness, we will be likely to stumble.

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.
