In John 11:1-16, we read the beginning of the story of Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus, who becomes very ill. His sisters, Mary and Martha, sent for Jesus, hoping He would come and heal Lazarus. However, rather than going immediately, Jesus delays His visit, saying that this illness will ultimately reveal God’s glory. Jesus eventually tells His disciples that Lazarus has “fallen asleep” and that He will awaken him, using a metaphor to teach about life and death. Despite the danger of returning to Judea where people wanted to kill Him, Jesus leads His disciples there, showing His courage and love for Lazarus. Thomas, showing boldness and loyalty, declares they should follow Jesus, even if it means dying with Him. This passage reveals important truths about God’s perfect timing, Jesus’ authority over life and death, His deep love, and His call to follow Him regardless of circumstances.
