Why Does Jesus Tarry? John 11 4-14, 25





Read the passage: John 11

v.5 1. It is not because He doesn't love us.
(Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.)


v.6 2. It is not because He is too busy.
(When He had heard therefore that he was sick, He abode two days still in the same 

place where He was.)

v.6 3. It is not because He is unaware of the importance of time. 
(...He abode two days still ...)

v.8 4. It is not because of obstacles in Jesus' path.
(His disciples say unto Him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest 

thou thither again?)

v.11 5. It is not because He is unaware of the facts.
  14 (Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.)


v.25 6. It is not because He lacks in power.
(Jesus saith unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: ...)


v.4 7. It is because He is the Son of God.
(When Jesus heard that, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, 

that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.)
