I AM the Resurrection and the Life John 11
Sometimes God delays help because he loves.
Human problems can crowd out our sense of God’s presence, as a result, when life gets hard, we give in to hopelessness.
Why did Jesus delay two days?
“…the soul hovers over the body of the deceased person for the first three days intending to re-enter it, but as soon as it sees its appearance change [decomposition], it departs.” (lev. Rab. 18:1)
Sometimes God delays help because he loves. Jesus consoles the grieving by directing attention to himself. Jesus shows his sovereignty over death with outrage and tears.
