Poor Lazarus!
Jesus may be fond of you but you’re sick as...
His
devoted sisters have just the answer - call for their special Friend who can heal anybody
of anything!
Ah yes, Jesus dearly loves them all…so surely He’ll race back to Bethany?
No, nothing doing. He sits tight for 2 days, just waiting for Laz to die!

C’mon, what sort of
a friend is that? Surely He’s not scared of a few stone-throwers in Jerusalem?
At last He’s
turned up… but o’oh, too late!!...
The funeral was four days ago, so
now Laz is really dead and they sure don’t
mind rubbing it in:
“Lord,
if you had been here, my brother would not have died”
Watch those
sisters of his…
Martha: “Whatsoever thou wilt ask (aiteo:
beg)
of God, God will give it thee…”
Is
she right?
(Actually Jesus ‘demands’ (eroteo) of God, ‘cos of who He is!)
As for Mary...she
fell down at His feet… where she always is! - at the feet that will
carry Him to His death.
Look around
and listen...in John ch11...- The place is crowded – there’s nowhere to hide. We’re only 3 kilometres east of Jerusalem, where they’ve tried to stone Him twice already!
- Thanks to Martha, this is the LAST of 7 claims that Jesus is the Son of God – don’t miss this one!
- What outrageous claim has He just made?? “I AM the Resurrection and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live... (even dead Laz??) ...and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.” Wow - that’s me and I hope...you!
(This is the
5th ‘I AM the...’ claim of 7 by Jesus)
Lazarus
means ‘God is helper of helpless’ but isn’t Laz beyond help?...not unlike
Israel?
Jesus weeps.
Is he finally beat at last?
Let's see!...
