It has been said that death and taxes are the two things we cannot escape. Unless you are working already you really don't feel the pain of paying taxes but death is not prejudice, it touches everyone regardless of age. Today we read of Lazarus the brother of Mary and Martha and a loved one of Jesus Himself. Let's read today's portion of thelifebook... At first when I read that the sisters sent word to Jesus saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill.", it almost sounds manipulative but then John clearly says that Jesus loved Mary and Martha so it would be certain that He in fact loved Lazarus, their brother as well.
It is Jesus' response that is baffling. When He was told that His friend whom He loves is ill, He decided to stay where He was a couple more days. Anyone else would have felt like they had to come to his side immediately and do all that he could for him. Jesus did not make His way to Lazarus until He knew he was dead. Only Jesus knew what He was about to do. Let this be our lesson today. Trust that Jesus knows what you are going through and what He will do in His time for His glory. Have great day Loved Ones and God bless you real good!
