A man named Lazarus was sick. He lived in Bethany with his sisters, Mary and Martha. John 11:1 NLT

This is the Mary who later poured the expensive perfume on the Lord’s feet and wiped them with her hair. Her brother, Lazarus, was sick. John 11:2 NLT

So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, your dear friend is very sick.” John 11:3 NLT

But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it happened for the glory of God so that the Son of God will receive glory from this.” John 11:4 NLT

So although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days. John 11:5-6 NLT

When you can't see the hands of God, you must trust the heart of God.
