00:00What Does It Say?

00:07Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead while the Jewish leaders plot Jesus' death.

00:12What does it mean? We should note four truths from this passage.

00:171. Suffering has a purpose. Just as with the blind man in chapter 9,

00:23Lazarus' illness would be for the glory of God.

00:262. Jesus loved Lazarus and his family.

00:30His delay in coming to them didn't mean he loved them less.

00:343. God is never late. He performs his will in his time.

00:394. Jesus has power over life and death.

00:42We also see several character traits of Jesus as God.

00:47In verse 11, he's omniscient.

00:49Jesus is life, according to the fifth, I am, statement in verse 25.

00:555. His omnipotence is obvious as he speaks Lazarus to life in verse 43.
