By His power the Lord Jesus proves to be the resurrection and the life. Though Lazarus was sick, Jesus did not visit Mary and Martha until Lazarus had been dead four days. This must have tested their faith very much. But He was waiting for His Father to tell Him when to go.
V.24 They knew that Lazarus would rise again at the last day, but that didn’t comfort them at the time. Oh, they thought, if Jesus had only come before Lazarus had died!
V.42 Jesus longed that the people might believe on Him!
V.43 Jesus calls one man to come out of death, for He had power without limit.
V.47 The more love and power He showed, the more the leaders hated Him. They were determined to stop His work one way or another; by murder, if necessary. Light in this chapter.
