John 11:1 - 29

How do you respond to life-changing events?  Terminal illness; death; loss of wealth.  Those who followed Jesus saw His response to a life-changing event when His friend, Lazarus, became sick and died.  Jesus actually arranged His travel plans so that He would arrive well after Lazarus' death.  His siblings could not understand why the One with so much power and authority would not be present, but Jesus gives us insight "This sickness is ... for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it."  Jesus viewed life-changing events as opportunities for God to be shown in His full splendor.
